    Wow 😮 I certainly can understand how hard it is to see the lake so low. Our lakes were at there lowest at the end of 2021. Thankfully our rains the last couple years have filled them up. I hope the rains will return and help raise the lake levels. The river looks beautiful. I appreciate you giving an updated tour.

    Hello Kevin, I agree with you about not getting into the water anywhere around here. Wow you found water in the lake, I can't even remember when I seen water in there. Interesting history on the dam. Have a good day.

    Very interesting to learn about this area and it's a shame the drought has impacted it so much. It was neat to see the bald cypress trees. I was surprised to see the river totally dry downstream.

    • @hikingwithjackieboy

    So sad. Thanks for the very informative tour Kevin! So sad to see the lake all dried up and the businesses closed. It’s so awful for the plants and animals too. I’m hoping you get some rain soon! Take care and stay in the a/c! - Jen 🧊🧊🧊💦💦💦

    • @hikingwithjackieboy
      @hikingwithjackieboy  4 місяці тому

      Thank you, Jennifer. We do need a lot of rain. For this lake, the rain has to fall in a specific area due to it having a small watershed.

    Interesting how the dam was built. Surprised that would be considered safe/sturdy enough. Such a shame everything is so dry. Looked like that was a nice little campground, but if there's no water for activities, it probably doesn't get much business if it is open. Thanks for the update.

    Things are rough everywhere it seems. I just got back from So. Padre (yesterday) and the coast looks like it’ll take a revolutionary type of election process (or a series of never before enacted processes) before our existing systems can even begin to catch up to the new and related jobs that are (already) going to become commonplace… But there also seems to be a drought when it comes to active change and/or leaders with monetary wealth who would help fund said process(es) as “acceptable and necessary”.
    I definitely feel sadness knowing how badly the animals have suffered alongside the businesses. I also want to say that I always feel great when I get to see your videos! This one is no exception. I am praying for reasonable rainfall for all of us. I know our (wild)life depends on it, but even if we never get back to square it’s been a heck of a ride! Thank you for bringing us along on the journey! Have a great weekend!

    Hi again! Thanks for doing an update on this. Did you know that SAWS (San Antonio Water Systems) is suing BMA (Bexar Medina Atascosa) water systems over a contract dispute for water usage from Medina Lake? I wonder if it has anything to do with it being empty for so long?
