Pretty Good Day

Saturday was a good day to be on the Frio River, that is, until about 4:30 p.m. The day was mixed with some sun, lotsa clouds, and warm. There were a lot of folks out enjoying the River, tubing, kayaking, visiting, and relaxing. Then, at the aforementioned time, we had one humdinger of a storm. Heavy rain(about 2 inches), and lots of lightning. The flood warning sirens sounded a short time later, letting everyone know to get off the River. Luckily, it didn't come up high at all, and floating should be ok again today. The pics below were taken between 6 and 7pm yesterday evening, after the storm.

Just above the 2nd crossing.

Shut In Creek at River Road.
Drive slowly when crossing here, because the road is boogered up pretty bad. It is passable.

Bear Creek at River Road, just before the 3rd crossing at Seven Bluffs.
The road is closed on the east side, so if you're trying to reach Seven Bluffs Cabins & RV Park, you'll need to come from US83.

Kids havin fun at the 2nd crossing.


COPOA park just above Neal's campground.
There's still rain in the forecast for the next day or two, but if we planned our activities around what the weatherman says, we might be couch potatoes for life. The Frio is runnin great, and we still have some openings for some fantastic vacation homes. Our calendars are always up to date, and we hope to hear from you soon!
Remember, respect your fellow visitors and the local residents alike. Drive at the posted speeds, don't throw your trash along the roadsides, and TAKE CARE OF THE FRIO RIVER!
