Memorial Day '08

Hi Guys
According to those that did get to the River(yours truly did not), there wasn't much room for the water. One of our guests said that they expected to take 5 hours going from 7 Bluffs to Neal's, but it took them 8 hours. I told them I couldn't believe that the Frio had slowed down that much in just a couple days, and they said the River was okay. It's just that there were so many tubers, floaters, & kayakers, they were moving verrry sloow. But come Monday, most folks were headed home, leaving the Frio to the lucky stragglers. With school still in session for most this week, we still have a few opening for this weekend, so come on out!

Unfortunately, there was a fatality this past weekend. A man visiting the Canyon was killed on his motorcycle in a collision with a car on TX 127, just down the road from the 1st crossing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
Hopefully, there will be nothing else but great times on the Frio from here on out.
Be safe, have fun, and we'll see ya soon!
