Good Evening out there in cyberspace. We had another fantastic day at the Frio River, with folks everywhere having a blast. There were some strong spotty rainshowers throughout the day, but the sun was out bright in between. For about the last two hours, we have had occasional heavy rain, and the WeatherBug is forecasting more of the same for the next day or so. But ya never know, I was in Uvalde today, where it was pouring downtown, but not on the east side.


Liana & Keren weren't worried about the recent rains, they were just enjoying their day on the River. Ahh, to be young again.


I don't believe these floaters were worried about nothing but gettin downriver too fast, and that's what it's all about...takin it easy on the Frio River!

Tip of the day:
When tying tubes together, especially to keep your kids close, may not always be a great idea.
I've seen this happen several times, and it is no fun. You're floatin down the Frio, with your five year old on her own tube, which is tied to yours. You're laid back, soakin up the sun, and all of a sudden, the water starts moving faster. Then, you see a small tree or boulder in your path downriver coming at you fast. No matter how hard you backstroke, you can't avoid it. You end up on one side of the obstacle, your child on the other, and you are both flipped out of your tubes.
As is the case most of the time, everybody comes out okay, just scared really bad. A neat thing about the Frio is, shallow water or the bank is always close by. Lazily floating down the River is very relaxing, and one of the reasons you came here. But until you get to know it well, staying slightly ahead of your children while tubing, may be better than lashing your tubes together. That way, if you encounter or see anything ahead that may cause problems, you can get out of your tube and direct your loved ones from harm's way. The best thing I will always tell folks is, to be aware of their surroundings. I've been floating for many years, and have seen many wrecks caused by tubes tied together. Actually, a lot of them have been the guy/gal totin the beverage cooler...right guys?
