Those sort of days are not to be turned down and I made plans to drive to Pedernales Falls and take a short and easy walk. First I called my friend who unfortunately had a prior engagement so I made plans to walk on my own. Nothing unusual about that as most of my walks are alone.
Ever since spotting the Bald Eagle a while back and rescuing a little dog on another occasion, every time that I drive to Pedernales Falls I am very wary of what is going on around me just in case I might get another glance at that eagle. No such luck this time but here’s hoping.
I arrived at Pedernales and this time, there were only a couple of cars in front of me. Not like the last time when there were at least 30 of them. I paid my $3.00 and told them I was taking a short walk. I planned to park in the Horse Corral and then take a walk to the
The walk was uneventful as I strode the Fenceline trail which is very easy walking. I turned off onto a very wide trail that was not signposted but I was hoping that it would bring me back to the South Trail which eventually it did. From there, it was a straight shot back to the Horse Corral where I met two ladies who were grooming their horses having completed their ride and they let me take their picture.
I was parked on the opposite side of the Corral from them so I wandered over to my car and changed out of my wet clothes as the temperature had been hot enough for me to sweat. Altogether I covered 4 miles of very easy walking and was extremely glad that I made the effort to get out. The drive home was uneventful as I listened to a Stephen King story on Audiophone. No Bald Eagles and no little lost dogs.
Enjoy the video.

I wish I was on this trail. I can imagine it would be nicer to go walking with a great friend.
I normally walk alone for several reasons. I like to stop and take pictures and I am a slow walker anyway. I also do a lot of spur of the moment walks which makes it difficult for my friends to fit into their schedules. Thanks for commenting.
I went walking looking for arrowheads… and ended up bringing some nice fossils home instead. It’s been quite cold here in Illinois.
I am more into pictures than collecting things although if I see something of interest, I at least stop and take a look (and a picture). Weather is warming up here in Texas, In the 70’s.
