Austin:
Was very crowded during the weekend that I was there. Its more like 3.2 miles
from where FR46 hits 63. The better pools look like they're across the stream.
We didn't visit. Not a naked body in sight but there were zillions of
uncontrolled, screaming kids running around unattended. If I were to
return it would be during the week and I would forge across the river to get
a lil' solice.
