Lost Creek – Trail Map

IMG_2351

This is actually a trick – there is no trail map for this hike.  However, I found a pretty good set of directions at this link.

  • You Google the Lost Creek Country Club and map out the directions
  • Find a spot to park on Bend of the River Drive just before it crosses Barton Creek
  • Look for the start of the trail just under the bridge
  • Hike a short distance to the big flat rock in the middle of the Creek
  • Quickly look for a convenient spot to ford Barton Creek
  • Pick up the dirt trail on the other side
  • Follow this sandy, tree covered trail for about a mile until you run into the waterfalls on Lost Creek

The Revenant

Revenant – one that returns after death or a long absence.

This movie is full of wonder.  It is about war, wildlife, luck – both good and bad, elements, nature, survival, and revenge.  Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy were excellent.  Heed the warnings concerning the R rating, and if you can deal with a movie like this, you will be rewarded.

Imagine Art

This event for the East Austin Studio Tour was pretty cool.  Imagine Art is a large art space on the East side set up to assist artists with and without disabilities. As a bonus tonight, they hosted some performances by a classical music group called Tetractys.  It was a good idea to mix the art exhibit with performance.  Also, sock monkeys hold a special place in my heart.

Juan in a Million

IMG_2304

Today’s breakfast was on the East side of town.  Juan in a Million is a Tex-Mex Restaurant that opened in 1980 on East Cesar Chavez, and is still going strong.  I ordered from the breakfast menu and chose the Con Queso Breakfast which includes “Two eggs served any stle with queso, carne guisada, refried beans, potatoes and two flour tortillas”.  I’m pretty sure this is a healthy way to start your day…
