Mom, Kelly and I went to New Braunfels today to float the Comal River. Woohoo! I love floating the river. We got out of Round Rock around 9am and went to go pick up Kelly. We took Isaac to school and then started our trip. We stopped at Corner Tubes (our normal tube place) and I got our frequent floater discount!!! Bonus! Because of the new laws, no one can carry anything disposable on the river anymore. But they are finding ways around it. My sister and mom grabbed a beer pouch (a little overpriced at $6) that was supposed to keep the beer cold and carbonated. Of which it worked for neither. I have a small problem with the new laws. Yes it might clear up the trash issue but not the drunk college student issue. Now people will be bringing liquor in non disposable containers instead of drinking beer. My sister didn't believe me until we ran into 2 guys floating who had filled a large bottle with whiskey -no mixers.
We grabbed our tubes and headed down to the lake. The water was cold and it was cloudy outside. It was going to be a chilly ride. It was my first time out with my kodak water camera. It worked really well. The river was up more than it had been at the end of last year. We had a lot of fun and as always I believe in some small way that the river has "healing" powers. The sun showed up and everything got even better. We most of the river to ourselves.
