Seven hikers (Carolyn D, Gloria B, June A, Jacque A w/pet Sheba, Jenny F & guest Barb K & new member, Lori T w/pet Wednesday) met at the trailhead parking lot to start this hike located in Cedar Breaks Park at Lake Georgetown.  We covered about 5.2ish miles in between 3.5-4 hours. This included snacks at the falls where several ladies cooled off by putting their heads under the falls. The rocks below the falls are very slippery and I think some got more than their head wet!  Fortunately, no injuries. The fern and elephant ear plants at the falls were so green and really pretty.  There was a lot more water than any of us expected with the drought.  A pleasant surprise for all!  We visited the female Texas longhorn in the picture below along with her friends and their calves. They were sharing a fenced area with a donkey.  We heard the songs of several birds including the Golden-cheeked warbler (heard but not seen).  That was an unexpected treat!  We also saw several little lizards scurrying across the trail.  We were treated to beautiful yellow prickly pear blooms, a real treat, plus red sage cedar and Mexican hat as seen below.  Though this was the hottest May 7th hike I have every taken, it was balanced out by good company and the abundance of nature’s wonder.  As you see below, we walked the sole off of June’s shoe.  Cheers, Jenny
