Visit Texas: Round Rock

While in Texas, we stayed in the city of Round Rock, which is a city on the outskirts of Austin.

It is named after an actual round rock! 

The Round Rock does not seem very monumental, but it played a significant role as a guide marker for the Indians and earliest settlers, as it indicated when water was low enough for wagon and cattle crossing.

Supposedly, you can still see wagon ruts that are over a hundred years old in the bottom of the creek.
