This is the reward at the end of the Lost Creek Trail. A beautiful double waterfall and a great swimming hole for those summer months.

Lost Creek – Trail Map
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.
The Edge of Seventeen
This movie nails both the unbearable awkwardness and the youthful fun of being a teenager in high school. If you hold on until near the end of the film, you will probably be rewarded. Until then, weirdness reigns.
“I don’t want to take up a ton of your time, but I’m gonna kill myself. I just thought that an adult should know.”
Campbell’s Hole – Swimming Spots
Campbell’s Hole has some pretty swimming spots and some nice sunny rocks to lay back on and enjoy the soothing sounds of the waterfalls. I’ll be back for a swim when Austin gets warmer.
Campbell’s Hole – Trail Map
Campbell’s Hole is about a mile hike from the parking lot at Barton Springs. Just follow the trail west into the setting sun. It is well marked and well travelled by hikers, dogs, and bikers.
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.
Art from El Paso and Juarez
In case you missed it, here are the highlights from Just the Tip: Street Art From El Paso and Juarez. It was a tiny, tiny venue with a few interesting pieces of artwork.

Hike and Bike Trail Bridge
To work off my breakfast, I took a short walk along the Hike and Bike Trail near Edward Rendon Sr. Park on Town Lake. The sunlight streaming across this bridge was nice.
