Houston: East End Bike Trail

published 2/17/10 7:59 PM

On Valentines Day my son and I went bike riding along the East End Bike Trail.  The trail is unfinished but will eventually run from downtown Houston to the ship channel turning basin and back.  We had to walk through a field to get to the trail head and pretty much had the place to ourselves with one notable exception.  See if you can spot it.

Here are a few more from the weekend visit to Wimberly.

The Zedler Mill is in Luling, Texas and is in the process of being restored.

This is a set of trees that amused me -- some trees have personality; some are just trees.

The Gila Cliff Dwellings aren't the only sight to see in the Gila Wilderness.  Sometimes the wilderness itself is enough.

These were taken on a hike to Aguirre Spring in the Organ Mts. which are in southern New Mexico.  I never found the spring, but along the way were all these interesting trees.  I know ten photos is a lot to look at and I thank you in advance for your indulgence

Burton, Texas is home of this working cotton gin.  They still fire it up a couple times a year to show off the skills necessary to transform the plant into bails ready for blue jeans. . .

Washington-on-the-Brazos is the seat of Texas Independence

These shots were taken at the Anson Jones ranch.  The actual ranch is gone, but some of the original buildings were moved to the site of the park.
