Mt. Bonnell

I am currently residing in Austin, TX for the weekend as there is more work to be done Monday. Steve was busy for the weekend, but Friday afternoon he was kind enough to provide me with a list of suggested sites to visit. Despite not feeling so grand, I did make it to Mt. Bonnell yesterday. It’s really not much of a mountain, but it is the highest spot in Austin with a nice view of the Colorado River.


This was in my opinion, the best view, over the Colorado River valley.

Police cruiser headed up the river. When you have the stalker lens, you might as well use it.


Speaking of stalker lens, a picture of a nice house on the river. With a pool. I imaging the conversation went like this:

Kid: Daddy, can we get a pool.
Father: We don’t need a pool, we take the boat out on the river all the time.
Kid: But I want to go swimming.
Fater: You have the private lagoon and we pay the groundskeeper to keep it weed free, swim there.
Kid: But Dad, all the poor kids swim in the river.
Father: Oh, all right, I guess you have a point there. I’ll have a pool installed tomorrow. It’ll give your mother and I something different to sip drinks by anyway.


Public service announcement: don’t litter. Ticket holder 213053 is not a winner.
