Don't Tell How Nice It Was Today

Please don't tell people from outside the area about the weather today.  Everyone will want to come.  I took my kayak to Stillhouse Hollow Reservoir this afternoon.  It was beautiful.  The water is back -- the lake has risen 12 feet in the last week -- and clearing and the temperature was 82.

I paddled from the Long Bridge almost to Gravel Crossing and back. I saw

• people catching white bass
• lots of other kayakers
• ducks
• cormorants
• an osprey
• about 100 vultures congregated in one spot; something to do with mating, I'm guessing
• turtles
• gar
• spawning carp

The breeze was light, the water was cool and the sun was bright.  In short, Central Texas was such a paradise today that if word gets out we will be inundated with people wanting to get a little of it for themselves; so be careful what you say.  If you inadvertently let something slip, make sure you ask the person to visit in late July.
