Microsoft Takes Me Back To An Enchanted Rock

The chilly photo you see here showed up this Sunday morning in my email, a Microsoft OneDrive Memory from this Day.

That which you see behind me, in the photo, is known as Enchanted Rock. One of the most scenic locations in Texas.

Enchanted Rock is located in Texas Hill Country, a few miles north of Fredericksburg.

I do not remember what winter month it was I first visited Enchanted Rock. It may have been in December. I do remember my second visit, a couple years later, was over Easter weekend, with Enchanted Rock being quite crowded.

Enchanted Rock is in a Texas state park known as Enchanted Rock State Natural Area. 

Natives residing in the Enchanted Rock zone, back when undocumented aliens began invading the area, thought the rock to be enchanted by spooky spirits. Thought thusly because of the weird noises the rock made. 

Modern science of the geology sort came along many years later to explain that the weird noises were made by contracting and expanding granite fissures in the rock, occurring during extreme heating and cooling events.

I have been on Enchanted Rock when it was cold and when it was not cold and have not heard any weird noises.

The hike to the summit of Enchanted Rock is not too difficult. There is no trail taking you to the top. You just sort of make you own route.

I would like to make that trek to the top of Enchanted Rock a third time. It is only a few hundred miles to the south of my current location...
