Like you, I am awed that the massive thing is one solid piece of pink granite. There are mines over Central Texas that dig out pink granite and our State Capitol has a lot of it in the building. I'm glad you liked it and learned more about Texas. It does hold many fascinating areas and stories. And for the record, I wrote and blog about four days ago and put it in Draft. My compulsive addition, you know, to always be prepared. So, this morning, all I had to do was hit Publish. So, visit in the spring and bring your hiking or athletic shoes, and a hat! And camera.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-48974299177554417592016-05-08T15:37:50.418-05:002016-05-08T15:37:50.418-05:00Linda--you should have climbed it!

I liked the story of the fearless Ranger, Captain Hays, and what his friend, Flacco, said about him. I also like how your son and his family spent the day there and they all climbed it. I imagine that's quite a feat. But most of all, I liked the mystical story of the "crying rocks." It's sort of like the singing dunes of the Sahara--scientists may tell us all the cold facts, but that just sucks the magic right out of everything. Life should have some mystery and magic to it.<br />I loved this post, Celia. Sarah J.

So this post was so special to me. Pink rock--enormous pink rock. WOW! I've seen only a few small portions of TX and am looking forward to visiting again, and when I do I'll be sure to put this Enchanted Rock on my list. Also thank you for letting us meet your lovely family. Your post was so interesting and and I always feel like I've gleened a bit more knowledge about your land after reading your words. Even on Mother's Day you are doing post--you're special that's for sure. And here's wishing you a delightful and fun Mother's Day.
