The Deadly Duo on the Comal!

With Texas temperatures soaring  into triple digits, it was time for a float on the Comal.  Karen and I packed our stuff, and headed to New Braunfels for a float.  Arriving we applied several layers of sunscreen, rented our tubes, filled our ice chest with goodies, and jumped into the cool water of the Comal.  A lazy two hour float, with two chutes for a little excitement was the plan for the day. The spring fed river provides enough flow.....so no paddling necessary!  I was thrilled to see a

Boy Scout Troop learning to scuba dive in the river.....future divers!  We stopped later under the shade of a Cypress tree for a refreshment break and a drink.  Arriving at the take out point.....we hauled all our stuff up to the street for the shuttle bus ride back to the starting point at Texas Tubes.  Finding a shady spot we enjoyed some snacks and a drink, deciding to do the next float without the ice chest tube.  More people were on the river now, but the crowd was not rowdy....lots of families.  We decided to get out at the first take out this trip, making the float a little shorter....so we could get

back, take a shower and go to Clear Springs Cafe on the way home......those delicious onion rings were calling. 
Awesome fun...with awesome friend!!!!!
