Mansfield Dam (Travis County, TX) – March 2011

 Yeah, the same opening paragraph you’ve read before.  Some of these pictures were posted originally with the travel blog write-up (original link below).  Now instead of a select few, I’m sharing just about all the pictures.  Some blurry or bad shots were removed, as well as some with others who would appreciate not having their pictures posted again.  Please be sure to visit the original blog link for more details of the original visit.

 This was one of the first places I visited when I moved to Austin in 2002, and I’ve gone back frequently (or at least driven by).  The water level was high enough to actually be going over the dam to create some great mist when I first saw it.  It hasn’t been like that since.  Mansfield Dam was also one of the first places I took Mum & Dad when they came down on the first visit, so it was nice to do a “re-visit.”

 On the first visit we just hung around the parking area next to the dam.  This time I wanted us to get some elevation to be able to see how the water level of the lake had gone down.  A short distance away, up on a hill, was Steiner Ranch Steakhouse, so we drove up there.  Technically they weren’t open yet, but they allowed us to hang on the patio to be able to get a view of the area.
