In June, Stac and I packed up the then new Liberty and drove to Texas via Arkansas, where we stopped for some four wheelin', hikin', and campin' in the Ouachita Mountains. We then hit Austin and made stops at Enchanted Rock state park and Kreuz barbeque in Lockhart (45 minutes south of Austin), the Best Barbeque in the Universe.
 The no-longer new jeep, parked near where we went for a "quick hike" on an unknown trail without a compass or water. Three hours later (did I mention it poured rain until about 5 minutes before this pic was taken?) we emerged. |

 Victory! |
 The rain cannot dampen our joy. |
