We went fishing on New Year's Eve. It was warm enough to be in shorts -- even a swim suit for a little while -- at least until the wind kicked up. Jim caught a small large mouth bass -- too small to keep. I took a picture of the flowers on the side of the canyon wall. It is wonderful to see something blooming this time of year. The flowers are safe from the goats eating them because they are clinging to the wall and the goats can't get there. The ranchers that own land around the lake all graze goats on it. The goats mow the desert down. Sometimes they get themselves caught out on a ledge over the water and can't get off without help.
Lake Amistad has houseboats on it that are rented out year round. Forever Resorts owns them and have them parked in two different marinas. I took a picture of one of the marinas that had both the rentals and some private houseboats.
There has been a sighting of a mountain lion by our camp. Some people feed the deer here and obviously the deer attract predators. The DNR have trapped over 40 of the lions in this part of Texas. They don't like them much -- not sure why -- I guess between the cougars and bobcats they eat a lot of goats.
