Commons Ford Ranch has to be one of my favorite places to hike in Austin. I shared my first post about it back on December 4th. The other day I decided to try a different trail and discovered many artifacts and relics of this land’s history that I had not seen before. These kinds of discoveries always get my imagination going. Who lived here previously and what were their lives like? I suppose it’s somewhat sad to think that the rusty and dilapidated remnants might be most all there is left of someone’s long-lived life. Tractor implements, a silo, barbed wire, a collapsed building, tires, and what looks like a well, skillfully built with care.
