webberville to hwy 969
Myself, my son Raley along with his friends Nick and Tommy made a challenging trip from Little Webberville Park to the hwy 969 bridge. The heat and hydrilla was no joke. I nicknamed this trip salad bowl 2. Some of you TKFers may recall salad bowl 1 about 12 or so years ago. Camping spots were difficult to come by as everything is grown up and as usual, shallow shorelines were difficult to find, the hydrilla obscuring what was there

I am 67 and struggled with the heat and conditions. My fine, healthy companions made the trip much more pleasurable.

I was an Austin river rat, did that section and more.
I like 969 to fishermans park in Bastrop. Good day trip, pretty scenery, good fishing and a fun rapids near the end.
Good memories!

Hi Beekeeper,
Long time no see. Thanks for the report.
It's been a while since the River Dawgs.
Yea, that stretch is about 18 miles. That’s a long overnighter even with a decent flow, but this year we’ve had minimal current. With the lower flow the grass and vegetation have really built up.
And yea, we’re in a drought and it’s been a dry, hot, and sunny October.
I remember the Salad Bowl. I was the instigator of that trip. It was a classic River Dawg camp.
It seemed to always rain the night before a trip. That time it rained a lot the night before and the river rose big time and brought in all that vegetation. That trip we were moving about 3 MPH not even paddling. We made pretty good time.
What’s up motoyak?
I’ve done a few day trips with you too back in the day.
Still, it’s beautiful out there in any condition.
I’m out there as much I can.
