                                                            Going into cavern
                           Three levels with different areas and water dropping on us from above.

                                              Crystals found in some areas of cavern
                                          Tree growing out of rocks at entrance to cavern.
5/16 Visited Austin, took tour of capitol building. This is the front side which is at the end of the main street of the city.


                        This is the back side of the capitol where we got a parking space.
                                           Dick liked Willie Nelson street and figurine.

                                     Tour also went to the hill county, got this skyline view.

5/15 Went onto Pedernales SP which has a great set of waterfalls. Unfort. they are about 1.5 miles away from campground.

                                             This is downstream from waterfalls.
                         Water was brown from recent rain. Site ok but too far from water.
     Another smaller waterfall that we hiked too. Nice wildflowers with D in background.

5/8 Moved on to this nice state park. Though the rv site was nothing special, the river was nice.
Here we are floating down a pretty section of the Guadalupe River. It was only about 20 inches deep which is really low for the river but nice for floating safely.
 This is looking upstream. About 30 kids had just gotten out so we had the river almost all to ourselves.
