Here's a pic when the water levels of the Guadalupe River were extremely low this past summer. Fortunately, we've gotten a lot of rain this winter and hopefully won't have to go through another dry spell.
Staying above the water line!

Sure looks hard to go tubing in that, bring your kevlar underwear . . .
Yeah, different story now, I'm getting a bit tired of the gray skys / rain, sun will sure look good this weekend. I hope you get to enjoy some outdoor time.
I have seen the river like that many time in my life. I have also seen it so high nobody can use it, and it reaps damage down its path. Texas rivers hold a life all their own each season to the next.
Our rivers are subject to the whims of nature...sometimes flowing peacefully with a quiet grace and sometimes raging with a deadly force that destroys everything in its path.
An expedient oxygen absorber for a 5 gallon storage container can be made by placing a golf ball size piece of steel wool and a tablespoon of salt inside a paper napkin and placing it in the container. The salt will absorb the residual moisture and the steel wool will naturally absorb the oxygen.
Preppin' Tips - Recipes
Make Your Own Electrolyte Beverage (Gatorade, Pedialyte, etc.)
To one quart of water add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 8 teaspoons of granulated sugar. Thoroughly mix all ingredients together.
This will replace electrolytes lost by the body due to dehydration caused by diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating, etc. A package of Kool-Aid, Crystal Light, etc. may be added to enhance the flavor and color.
