Amistad can go up 5ft but will be drained as fast as it's coming in due to the Mx side maintenance.

Travis up 6 feet since Tuesday. We're at about 640 now, so Mansfield should be open. It's good at 637. Number 3 ramp in Jonestown is next at 645, so we'll need another 6 feet or so.

It's coming. Need another good one up the Llano but one that won't flood them out. I think Travis may catch 10 feet on this one. Hopefully if the rain predicted for the next 7 days hits in the right spot we can get 20! Choke, Falcon, and all those west lakes need it bad!

I would like to see a widespread big rain in Central West Texas. The Brownwood, Winchell area. Get the Colorado and the Pecan Bayou flooding. That would fill Buchanan and send water down to Travis

This would be wonderful! Travis has gotten a couple small pulses of water from the Llano but what you're talking about would be ideal.

Back in the big flood we had a 40ft rise on the Colorado at our ranch in Mills Cnty. I called my buddies up who have docks on Buchanan and told them you got maybe 2 days to pull the docks to flood level. They thought I was lying. a few listened.

Just my ignorance on docks. How do you pull a floating dock to flood level before the water gets there? I thought the water came up, they floated up and then you reeled them in to shore. I have been on buck for 9 years but have not put in a dock yet. I am thinking about stationary as mone really has no where to go but up and down.

Most have wheels on them. I think they are called roll in docks. Similar to whats at the Llano cnty park. They used a winch

You could set 1 up with 4 like 3" round steel poles on 4 corners then you have a winch that pulls it up and down thumb

That's just for jet ski dock, But similar design for boat dock ,
My mom and dad used to rent a cottage on Lake Travis,
And it also had a boat dock also, 20 foot walkway, was on wheels
But was also easily unattachable, from the u-shape.boat slips.
It was a walkway with a U shape deck/slips
you can put one boat in the middle, one boat, on each other side,
It had four 20-ft poles, on each corner of the main deck of a u shaped deck
With four winches, One for each pole, with The cable,
Attach to the bottom of poles, So you can raise it up and down as needed 👍

Hard to imagine with the Guadalupe and LLano Rivers flooding like they were that Canyon and Travis didn't rise more. Did TEQC make them open the gates? No rise at all at Choke Canyon or Lake Corpus Christi. Business as usual. IslandJim

Talking to my contacts in Del Rio - all say it's a 7-10 year project.

And if it takes that song - so be it. We just need the water at a constant depth so the grass will grow. But that means we also need some rain.....
