Back to Junction, Texas

Four years ago we visited the South Llano River State Park just south of the small town of Junction.  It made a strong impression on both of us so we decided it would be a fitting location to visit again and to continue our journey next December.
The Llano River flowing through the park is still just as clear and pristine as we remembered it!  There are great hiking trails into the Pecan trees and cactus.

There are still a few remnants of the ranch that used to be here.  This windmill still pumps water for the wildlife now that the cattle are gone.
There are four bird blinds in the park in which you can sit in to observe the birds as they come to the feed stations, and to the solar-powered water fountains.
This is one of our favorite parks!
More tomorrow.
