Enchanted Rock      Llano County, Texas 

     

A granite batholith sticking up in the Hill Country.  Second biggest granite dome in the USA.  The Indians are said to have thought it was haunted.  








     

























    






     Picture of Jack Hays





http://www.forttours.com/pages/jackhays.asp#ENCHANTED ROCK

Hays on the Pedernales by Wilbarger      

In 1841, Jack Hays, Captain of the Texas Rangers, got attacked by Comanches and took refuge on top of Enchanted Rock and held off the attackers for hours with his firearms while holed up in a crevice.  I understand he was in possession of some Colt Patersons.  I actually read about this episode when I was a kid in the 1950s. 


      














Times have changed.  On the Internet, people discuss climbing Enchanted Rock like they are climbing Annapurna. Rest breaks halfway up, water breaks...etc.  


My girlfriend and I climbed up there and looked all around back in 1970 and flew back down to the car and drove back home to San Antonio for supper and a movie later that night. I believe I was wearing penny loafers!!  Hahahahahaa....she was in shorts!  


We got a drink when we got home!

" You got to watch where you crawl or stick your hand...."   








" Never just go pick up that piece of wood over there on the ground!  First---poke it with something!  Don't just reach down to turn on your water hose without first taking a look in the grass by your house!!  Crawling under a house to do some repairs can be......umm.......an adventure!!  Keep a sharp eye out while walking in tall grass.....or short grass.....or a sand dune!! "   











" And remember, moccasins don't rattle! "

That's enough to keep me in the north country. I've been to Dallas and Houston quite a few times for Shot Shows and Tackle Shows. Been to Southfork for a couple barbeques, once we were out somewhere from the ranch and had rattlesnake cooked in big frying pans and had beef that was done in the ground.... the beef was super can't say the same for the snake.
