When It Rains...

...It Pours!

This picture was taken when we went "toobing" on the Comal this past July.  I have no clue who the people are, we were just trying to get a picture of Jacob coming out of the tube chute (red area on the left.)  Part of the spill way can be seen on the upper right.

This picture was taken yesterday after some heavy and steady overnight downpours.  As you can see, or not see, the spill way is underwater and so is everything else!  (You should be able to enlarge the picture by double clicking on it.)

50 Miles

Since school started, the scouts have been working on their Cycling Merit Badge.  Each Tuesday night a group of scouts, along with their scout master and Jim, would leave the scout hut at 6:45 and take to the streets of New Braunfels.  Each week the rides would get a little longer and the number of boys a little fewer.  Last Saturday (9/26), all the hard work culminated in the final ride of 50 miles!  The group rode from the scout hut in downtown New Braunfels to San Marcos and back. 

All the boys did a great job!  Here is Jacob crossing the pedestrian bridge on the way back and then (on the left) he's the first scout to arrive back at the scout hut!

After a long, hot ride...what could be better than taking a dip in the cool waters of the Comal River?!!
