Chisholm Trail Crossing Park (Round Rock, TX) – March 2007

 I originally posted some of these pictures with a travel blog write-up (and the link to the original was below).  I decided I wanted to share all the pictures I took of a particular area of point of interest, so some of these you will have seen before if you’ve been following this blog for a bit.  The link below gives more of the details, so I’m not going to rehash them here.

 Put this in a “point of interest” to visit.  The city of Round Rock was called that because of a water-crossing on the Chisholm Trail was marked by a particular-shaped rock which was used to gauge the depth.  While the city built up around it, I’m sure most of the locals weren’t even aware of the existence of this.  Most probably just drove past it every day and never even noticed it.  The park had just been created to honor that historical aspect (so at the time there wasn’t much there).  If you’re in the area, just take a few minutes and stop by.
