The Wolf Mountain Trail at Pedernales Falls State Park is a great hike close to Austin. It was very dry and none of the creeks had any water; however, the views are spectacular. One note, if you are camping in the primitive area, don’t take a wagon full of supplies. There is a very steep [...]

Manarola is the second village in Cinque Terre. It is not far from Riomaggiore by trail. It felt a bit smaller than Riomaggiore in size, but I’m actually not sure on the population. There were some great restaurants right by the water and we ate there on a covered deck. The seafood was great and [...]
I had no idea Hamilton Greenbelt was right in the middle of Lakeway. It takes you all the way to Lake Travis. There are a lot of loops so it is not a lot of doubling back on yourself which I love. This is a great hike right in town. The solitude was nice and [...]

Meyer’s Barbeque is one of the famous restaurants for sausage. Meyer’s was founded in the 1940s so it has been around a long time. I went there recently and I thought it was a pretty good meal (lunch) and certainly reasonably priced. I, of course, tried the sausage and it was okay. I prefer Salt [...]
We hiked Pace Bend Park in February and I didn’t wear a shirt. You have to love Austin! We did not pass anyone else, but it was a weekday. The hike was supposed to be an up and back, but we ended up making it a loop by going down the road for the last [...]
Ratton Creek is a decent local trail. It is located just off of McNeil. This is an easy hike perfect for dogs. It is perfectly flat and through the neighborhood. When we tracked this one down, I had no clue it was there. It is pretty short (way less than an hour) and there is [...]
