We're just sitting here waiting for the monsoons to start. The weatherman has warned us that torrential rains are barreling out of the Gulf and headed this way with at least 4 inches of rain due within 12 hours. It's kind of a weird weather pattern with the moisture coming north from the Gulf and being pushed east from a system in northern Texas. Austin's Lake Travis is already 16 inches below normal so the water will be appreciated but getting too much in a short period of time usually means flash floods in low areas. Did we pick another winter we should have stayed in Michigan?
Though our camp is between the San Marcos River and the big yellow sign that warns 'when the water is high turn around, don't drown', I think the locals say we'll need a lot more before we need to get too excited.
Anyway we'll hunker down and hope the rig doesn't leak. And before long we'll be back on the trail of adventure and intrigue.
Still livin' the dream in a soon to be very wet, south central Texas.
