• December 2003 Mount Bonnell — Austin, TX The Colorado River runs through Austin, and it runs right by a place called Mount Bonnell. This part of Austin, west of the city, is mostly ROCK. Mount Bonnell is a humongous ROCK. Some model purportedly slid down a wire from the top of Mount Bonnell to the River below. That was in the early 1900′s. After getting lost and winding up in Mayfield Preserve, we finally found the road that leads to Mount Bonnell. It wasn’t very well marked. In the parking lot at the base of Mount Bonnell is a sign warning people that some cars have been broken into while people were hiking on the mountain. Heh. Nothing got stolen from our car. There wasn’t really anything to steal anyway. Jason’s car is a 1980′s Geo Metro (which I like to call Tic Tac). If anyone had bothered to break in, all there was to steal was a couple of empty Coke and Dr. Pepper bottles and a really old cassette tape player. Oh and a briefcase with some titles to some land in Florida in it. Some of the houses below us.
