Like most of the U.S., the Texas Hill Country has had some impressively low temperatures in the last few days. Out at Laity Lodge, which sits next to the Frio River, the temp dropped into single digits at night. That’s low for us! And I’ll bet the Frio was “muy frio.”

When it gets that cold, the cliffs along the Frio River produce some amazing artwork. I thought I’d share with you a couple of pictures taken by my colleague, John Kerr. (Thanks, John, for these great shots! The person in the photo gives you a sense of the size of the icicles. He’s Erik Silvius, our Outdoor Education Coordinator.)
