Lost Dog!
Posted by Nick Weynand in News & Announcements on June 29th, 2009
She belongs to 5414 Porsche Lane Austin Texas 78749. She escaped early yesterday afternoon from the backyard and has been seen in the creek. She is very friendly, her name is Maggie. She was last spotted this morning crossing William Cannon over by Beckett in the creek area. I’m not sure how to get in touch with that neighborhood. But if you could please help us, We would greatly appreciate it. We have filed a lost animal report with the City and are doing everything we can. Thank You.
German Short Haired Pointer – Name: Maggie Solid Brown, white patch on chest and snipped tail.

Posted by Nick Weynand in Brush Country Trail on May 6th, 2009
We had a very successful trail work day last Saturday in Westcreek!
Attached are a few photos of some of our accomplishments and the people who made it happen. OHTA volunteers included Rick, Tom, Cliff, Beki, Ralph, Nancy, David R., David H., and Trudy. Thanks to Westcreek neighbors Chad and Kim Warren for donating the limestone rocks for the stairs that Rick, David, and Beki built.
Please get out and enjoy the trail! Your footsteps will help keep the weeds down.
