With the recent rain causing a sudden spike in the water level, the Saturday Paddlers were able to return to the Guadalupe River. The route chosen was Zoeller Lane to Sisterdale, and twenty paddlers were there to enjoy it. We were lucky with our timing, as the river was running at just under 200 cfs. It had peaked at 251 cfs a day earlier.
As seen in these two photos taken from the Zoeller Lane bridge, the river was higher than we had seen it in almost two years.
The lunch break was taken at the usual spot.
Mike was ready to take the traditional leaning tree group portrait. However, the tree was covered with ants, so we did not climb onto it.
Joline was at her elegant best.
The group readies for Mike to take the photo.
Below is Mike's nice photo of the merry band and the swarming ants.

After leaving the river at the Sisterdale Road crossing, nine of us met for dinner at El Rio Mexican Restaurant in Boerne. I think the waitress was sorry they let us in. I was on my best behaviour, but I can't vouch for Miguel and the rest of the group.
