Attendees: DawnK, StephanieN, JulieanneA and MariaV. CindyS came around eleven and painted the view from
the park to the east side, where the low bridge is.
Altogether the trip was about 7 miles. The weather was incredibly pleasant for a July mid-morning in Austin. Not that many houses have been built in this section of the river as have been further south; so for about two-thirds of the trip, we were surrounded by sheer nature: birds singing, fish leaping, and clear water. Half way through we took a swim at a sandy beach; the water was as cold as it is in Barton Creek. We saw a dozen Herons.
Upon returning to the park, Cindy joined us for a quick bite. We were ready to go home at 2:00 pm
