How does one get into Travis if the ramps are not open? Marina only?

Captain YARRR Admin Offline Doing the rain dance Posts: 2587 Round Rock, TX Gender:	Re: The forecast looks good Reply #6 - Jan 23^rd, 2012 at 5:30pm I have no complaints with Highland Lakes, pretty decent ramp for $20 or $25. I never felt sketchy launching there. If we could snag a foot from this week's rain, that would be pretty sweet progress. We are knocking on the door of 625...

Not nearly enough. Most of the heavy stuff fell below Mansfield dam. More water for the rice farmers. Here is the Hydromet for the last 48 hours. Lake at 626.6 as of 9:30am this morning. >7" fell in some spots in the lower basin. We could have really used that. Been a frustrating trend for a long time. Click on the pic to blow it up.

My pool filled by at least 4"...for what that's worth.
