Red Creek Road merges with a piece of County Line Road, but is then blocked shortly afterward by a private-property gate

I park here and go for a short walk into the field on my right, which is inside Henry Coe Park boundary (even though the road is not).

There exists another short piece of County Line Road half a mile north of here that is also part of the Park. I could hike over to it around the private property and then up the trail to San Antone Spring.

I'm tempted to do it, but I'm feeling already beyond my limits in today's heat. Why don't all my photos indicate heat radiating off of everything (including me)?
