Presidential gravesites: Lyndon Johnson
Recorded December 13, 2010. President Johnson is buried in the family cemetery within the LBJ Ranch and state park historic site, located about an hour north of San Antonio. The town of Stonewall was an integral part of LBJ's life; he was born there, retired there following his presidency and died there. The cemetery is privately owned by the Johnson family; they have requested that visitors keep out so I chose to respect their wishes. President Johnson's grave marker is the second of the four visible in the front row between the two oak trees.

Boulder Park Has Some Fun Features! | Dallas, TX Mountain Biking
I have some pretty dope merch here:
Even though I've been mountain biking for about a year and 9 months, I had never made the 35 minute drive down to Boulder Park! What a shame! I ended up riding this trail two days in a row, and I think it's one of the better trails in the DFW area! Some really fun features, some of which will test your skills!
The full trail with all of the loops and the extension came in just over 11 miles on my Strava (it's allegedly 12 according to DORBA).
