Casey Cluiss Flinn Onion Creek, Driftwood, Texas-Camp Ben McCulloch

Jim Sanders When I lived in Austin we loved Hamilton Pool, Barton Springs. You can't beat the Blue Hole in Wemberly. Out here in the heart of the Hill Country there are so many it's hard to pick a favorite. Hunt's Crossing, Monkey Island, Ingram Dam and anywhere there is a river that's flowing and a tube. The word from the Corp Of Engineers is that they are going to keep the discharge at Canyon Lake at 235cfm for the remainder of the summer, perfect for tubing. I can't wait to heal up and hit the river...!

Kenny Arther I always enjoyed the Colorado River arm of Lake L.B.J.
