Lake Travis - during drought and after rain

Captain YARRR Admin Offline Doing the rain dance Posts: 2587 Round Rock, TX Gender:	Lake Travis - during drought and after rain Feb 9^th, 2010 at 7:31pm I took some pictures this July of the lake towards the bottom of the drought in Jonestown. Last weekend I took a spin out there to see how things have improved. Here's a little before and after! This is the exact same spot. The ramp is completely missing and I love that

I didn't see Sometimes Island and there were hundreds of blow boats out there. Must of been a regatta? Looking good!

Looking good! Cool

If they were still out there at 3:00, they set some freakin speed records. I was at the marina when the front blew in and it all but blew me off the finger.

That changed my mind. Oh well, one weekend closer to warmer weather!

The lake looks great. Amazing what a difference. This is the highest level I've seen since moving here. Got off the lake about 30 minutes before the front moved in. Didn't see that one coming. Spoiled my afternoon motorcycle ride idea.
