2/21/07 Fredericksburg & Hunt Texas

Hi again.....

Once I left the LBJ ranch I continued west. I was looking for Stonehenge II. Someone had built a replica of Stonehenge- out in the middle of Texas!! LOL

This part of Texas is known as Hill Country, and yes there are hills!! LOL It was good to see hills and ponds and trees....something except the open ranges I've been looking at these past few weeks!

I first drove thru a town called Fredericksburg. This is a quaint town that has many shops lining both sides of downtown. If you are an antique buff- then this is the place to come!! Once outside of Fredericksburg it's mostly country side with occasional small towns. I came across something that I found funny. They have these "dip" signs every now & then....It is where the road goes dow into a gully. In these gullies they have measuring post- marked up to 5 feet high. This is so when you are driving along and you see a "puddle"- you know how deep it is, and then you decide if you car or truck can can handle the depth or if you should turn around!! LOL ****Suggestion if water is over 1' then PLEASE turn around!!!! Or you may float away!!******

I finally found Ingram/Hunt area and the Stonehenge II. It is on F.M. (farm road) 1340, in Hunt off Texas 39. This Stonehenge is an exact replica of the one in Salisbury Plain, England. It is 60% as tall as the original and 90 % as large in circumference as original. There are two Easter Island- type statues also at this same location.

Well I'm going to get more pics ready- see you soon- Love Donna
