Today, we are visiting Lake Travis in Lakeway. Since the heavy rain last week, the lake is completely full. I thought it would be fun to take a look at the lake at its lowest point and then see how it looks today at its highest. We are catered by ATX Cocina Restaurant in Austin. Our entertainment is David Bowie.

The police don’t want folks parking near the lake since it is still rising.
Well, that’s it. Time for some food and music. I hope you have a great week.

Amazing difference…you are definitely looking at a “sell/no sell” real estate situation, timing is everything 🐳

Wow! That is mind-blowing to see the change from 2022 to today. Incredible. Thank you for sharing.
Have a lovely Sunday, John. Ch-ch-changes are happening all the time!

John, great pictures. Your before and after shots are amazing. That happens around here sometimes and it is awful. But the waters generally recover. Tough on people with boats at their backyard docks. The boats nearly sitting on the sand-dirt bottoms. Nature is always a guessing game.
PS: tell James he gets up too early !!

Such a contrast to see, John. I remember once at Clearlake, they were talking about selling homes out in the middle of the lake since it had gone down sooo much and then it filled up again.
Enjoy the delicious meal! 💕

That poor lake looked like a goner in 2022. Hurray for the rain! Nice to see Bowie in his Ziggy Stardust persona.
