Which Way to Llano?

For my birthday last weekend, we took a long drive out Hwy 71 up to Llano and Mason to see wildflowers. Just fyi, there were hardly ANY. Always a nice drive though! Great views of valleys and hills, just no flowers this year. It happens. Meh. (Plenty of flowers here in the ATX. It is green here, but serious drought time out west.)

On the trip, Siri, who isn't known for her regional dialects, decided to wow us with her newly found Spanish accent, and called Llano "yah-no." *wild applause* Unfortunately, in this case, it's... not actually yah-no. It's lanno, y'all! 

 

Nice effort, though.

We took a little internet-specified "wildflower drive" around the Mason metropolitan countryside, and towards the end we approached a crossroad. I pulled out my phone to check the map, to see which direction we needed to go to get back to Llano. Jeff pulled over onto the shoulder and stopped. I fiddled around for two or three minutes within the map app (it kept zooming in and out too far- GAH), when finally I was able to see that we needed to turn left ahead.

I put away my phone, looked up, and:

Ha!!
