Babies, Rain, & Big Rigs

Well, the rains came and went, but didn't give rise to the Frio. We may have gotten as much as one inch total, just enough to give the vegetation a good drink. Some friends said they were sittin in the River one day, and the water came up about six inches or so. I'm still getting the same reports from Concan visitors. Some are tubing and enjoying despite the walking and slow flow, others are content to hang out at one of the crossings or go to Garner.


Lots of new life springing up in the area, so please drive slowly and give em a chance to grow.


Taken from Bethel early this week. Seems like most of the rain hit everywhere but here.



Early one morning before the folks hit the water at the 2nd crossing.


Two weeks back, this big rig tried switchin gears goin up the hill by Neal's...he didn't make it.


The crossing was blocked for 4 1/2 hours before equipment could be brought in to clear the bridge. Folks were having to go around through Knippa and Uvalde.


That's all for now. Rain is out of the forecast for now, but ya can't always believe what you hear.

Come on out, it's still the best place to be!
