But, IF you're taking 16 on your way north; RR965 out of Fredricksburg doesn't add much time to the trip and I'd love to hear what an Aussie has to say about our "Enchanted Rock".

Couldn't help but notice the sign, what's a cattle guard? Is that where the cow crossing guard stands to cross them?, Or makes sure they don't get stolen? I thought you Texans still hung rustlers. I seriously have no idea what that sign is for, never seen one.

A cattle grid (UK English), also known as a stock grid in Australia; cattle guard in American English; and vehicle pass, Texas gate, or stock gap in the U.S. Southeast;[1] or a cattle stop in New Zealand English – is a type of obstacle used to prevent livestock, such as sheep, cattle, pigs, horses, or mules from passing along a road or railway which penetrates the fencing surrounding an enclosed piece of land. It consists of a depression in the road covered by a transverse grid of bars or tubes, normally made of metal and firmly fixed to the ground on either side of the depression, such that the gaps between them are wide enough for animals' legs to fall through, but sufficiently narrow not to impede a wheeled vehicle or human foot. This provides an effective barrier to animals without impeding wheeled vehicles, as the animals are reluctant to walk on the grates.
Mind you, the Ministry of Environment ordered us to install "turtle tunnels" under a roadway we built a few years ago so they wouldn't get run over crossing the road during breeding season. One of them they gave us incorrect grade numbers for, it flooded, and they paid us to do it again, despite my comment that I heard turtles knew how to swim.
