But in 2003, Milton Reimers decided to sell the property, and offered it to Travis County. To keep the land public, a dedicated group of rock climbers rounded up 10,000 signatures to put it up for a bond election to finance the purchase for public use. It worked, and today Reimers Ranch is considered a world-class rock-climbing destination. | Atlas Obscura | Facebook
