While I was in Austin Texas I was asking where would be a good place to hear music. The Continental club came up a few times so I decided to go here. Parking was not difficult and was easy to find. Prior to the band I came to see was a more popular group covering Elvis songs. Pretty active group and crowd which all had a good time with a lot of dancing. As I went in you can definitely tell since it was significantly warmer with all ceiling fans cranking. I didn't order any food but ordered vodka and orange juice and sat down and waited for the show to start. Unfortunately the drink wasn't good at all and it was the only one I ordered. The staff was okay but I guess they were spent from the previous show. As the room cooled off I was hoping they would turn down the ceiling fans but they kept everything on high even though there were about 20 people in a room that could fit about 50+. It just made things a little uncomfortable. The band, with guest dj, was good and played popular songs which kept everybody in a good mood. I left after about an hour along with a few other people. Would like to revisit if there are any solo guitar artists playing.

Quiet little park I've always passed so I decided to stop In with my dog. Pretty wet from the storm we had but it was a nice area to walk around. Didn't see any trails but just walked the soccer field perimeter.

We took the tour of the underground tunnels in the area and had a great time. Lisa was our guide and kept the tour moving smoothly, informative and comical at times which lasted about an hour to an hour and a half. There was a group of about 25-30 of us. It was really cool to find out about all of the history of the town and the years of transformation. If you ever go, ask about Profanity Hill, Skid Row and the all-too popular Crapper!

This place was a great find. We took our kids and 2-year-old lab here to explore this new space. After at least a couple hours we were plenty tired climbing and traversing the trails and boulders.

On the way down the trail we actually met a couple climbers that stated that some areas within the park are noted for great climbing.

The trails were well marked and even though it was the weekend it wasn't too busy. Would surely like to make a return visit in the fall when leaves are changing!
