Sept. 20 Saturday

Things sure looked differently when we got up this morning. Many tenters had moved in and set up over the evening and night. Several RV's have moved in as well. This morning most of the people went to the office, rented tubes and/or rafts and headed for the river. We watch several go down the river. Moving very slowly in the deeper water and picking up speed as they hit the rapids. The water is not very deep, maybe 4 to 5 ft. One guy was off his tube walking on the bottom following his buddy when he let his tube get away from him. He called to his buddy to wait up and his buddy, who was in the middle of the rapids, called back, too late for that and just kept on going. The guy walking waited until some gal came by with another tube in tow with a large cooler in it and he jumped on the cooler and then they both got stuck on a rock in the rapids and he had to get off and help her over the rock and on down the rapids. Don't know if he ever caught up with his buddy or not. Apparently they stop along the way to swim and eat as they did not begin coming back until 5 in the evening. What a sight! Some were sunburned and some looked like they had been through the mill, but apparently ready to do the same thing tomorrow morning after a shower and something to eat from the campfire they had built. Looked like they really had a good time.
Evelyn and I did not get a lot done except watch them on the river and a few chores done in preparation for the HTC rally next week. We will move to the Guadalupe River RV resort for the rally and see what we can do to help Betty with the rally. IT is only about 70 miles from here.
