The Llano River Area near Junction

The Llano River was running swift and cool and clear.  There were many trails to follow among the hundreds of Pecan trees along the river bottom.  Pecans were on the ground by the thousands and some were still up in the trees from last fall.  Most were still fine to crack and eat because it has been so dry here.  We were surprised to see very few squirrels with such a bonanza of easy food to eat.  We saw our first Road Runner along the road.  The area has endangered Rio Grand wild Turkeys and their roosting area along the river is closed off each day from 3 PM to 9 AM the next day.  This part of Texas is very pretty and residents are friendly.
