North by NW

Drove up north today on some county roads and ended up on Texas 16 northbound.  More hills and valleys, more curves and dips.  We ended up in Llano, a little ranching town on the Llano River.  Explored the historic downtown,  Visited a couple of antique shops.  Had lunch in a storefront cafe on Main Street.  Llano is about 15 miles from Enchanted Rock Natural area which we plan to visit at a future time when we take a picnic lunch and hiking boots with us.  The rock is an outcropping of granite that covers about a hundred square miles of that part of Texas.  I saw an advertisement for a well driller.
 "$ 12.50 / ft  Granite.
If dry, the second hole is free."

 A well could get expensive.




The county courthouse is classic.
