The Guadalupe River is one of the most famous in Texas. Campers come from miles around to test the rolling waters. It's common to see groups of 10 to 20 people linking tubes floating along together... all surrounding one tube holding the cooler full of beer!

Just a pretty site along the markets. If I had the time I would have stopped and taken a break.

The National Memorial Arch was dedicated June 19, 1917. There is a six mile bike and foot trail in and around the park as well as ten miles of horse trails. Along the dogwood trail you will see miliary housing and various historical noted sites. The land holds a memorial to the Continental Army who faithly held the land during one very cold winter.

Rolling through the hilly path, these huts were creatively placed to appear as a subdivision. The noncommissioned soldiers were housed twelve to a hut. The Soldiers Huts held the following dimensions, fourteen by sixteen each side. The roofs were made tight with split slabs and the sides held tight with clay. Fireplaces were made of wood and secured with clay on the inside and eighteen inches thick.
