...Not the Frio River, it's still doing fine. The great amounts of rainfall last summer still have the River flowin real good. When I was down at Neal's campground last week, I saw that the spring down there was still going strong. That's a good thing.
It's the ground that's so dry. We haven't had much rain at all this winter. The last I can remember was about half an inch around Thanksgiving. We've been under a burn ban in Uvalde county for several months, as has Real county.
Firework stand just north of Uvalde on US83, last Friday.
The above picture illustrates why, at certain times, a ban on burning is necessary. Luckily for these folks, there was a north wind blowin. If you have been on our website, and read our Policies, you've seen that fireworks are not allowed at any of our vacation homes, or open fires. Not only is it our policy, but also subdivision rules. Most of our homes are located within these boundaries, therefore this will be strictly enforced. You ask why....see above photo. If there had been a lot of brush in this fire instead of just grass, it would have burned a much larger area.
If a fire began in the Concan hills, it could spread fast through the cedar and brush, engulfing homes and endangering lives. Please do not ignore this on your next Frio River vacation, no matter who you are staying with.
All is great here, with temps in the 70's, and lots of sunshine. Don't wait too long to make reservations for your 2008 vacation, and remember that FrioMan's vacation homes are second to none! Looks like we're adding yet another wonderful property to the FrioMan Family of luxury homes, so stay tuned!
See Ya! FrioMan
