Austin, TX
Waterfalls in Texas
Today we drove a short distance to McKinney Falls State Park, which was NOT named after the man, the myth, the legend,
Collin McKinney (if you haven't watched the video I linked in my post about Collin McKinney, do!) It was named after
Thomas F. McKinney, a Texas Business Man (
slave owner). who owned the land at one point, but let's focus on the beauty of the land.
McKinney Falls State Park is on Onion Creek. It is a beautiful area with a lot of birds (which is why we went). We had hoped to see a Green Kingfisher but it eluded us. We did see a lot of other great birds and geological features.

It was an awesome place that needs a new name. If you missed yesterday's post you can find it
