2012-03-29 Cows grazing on the lake bed - Medina Lake TX
the previous pics were taken on the south end of the lake near the dam.
Six miles north, where the Thousand Trails RV Park is in Lakehills, TX
the lake bed is so dry. . .the cows are grazing on it. 
That’s the Medina River you see in the center of the pic. . .
last year,  Dave caught about a 3 lb catfish,
from the bluff where he is now standing to take this pic. . .
It’s gonna take a lot of rain north of here to fill all this back up. . .
