I couldn’t leave the Fredericksburg area without seeing wildflowers
in hill country. Willow Springs features a Willow City Loop drive through 15
miles of private property; the road is narrow without pull over areas. Because
I did the drive on Monday morning, I only met two cars the entire drive and was
able to stop to take some photos.
On weekends, it’s been reported to be like rush hour traffic—bumper to
bumper – another huge plus for being “semi-retired”.

Before driving back to Fredericksburg, I visited Enchanted Rock which a is pink-toned, naturally occurring
solid-granite structure 640 acres
and1825 feet in elevation. It’s the second largest granite outcropping in the
USA. Native Americans held it in awe and reverence.
