Anyone been this summer? All the reports say that they are only releasing 49 CFS which isn't even high enough for "recreational tubing" that is 100-499 CFS. I don't want to go if it is going to suck ***.

I floated two weekends ago and it was incredibly slow. It took 4.5 hours to float HALF of the river. There was probably a total of about 100 yards where I had to get up and walk. Still fun though!

Being with women would make it worse because you'll have to hear them bitch about having to paddle.

The locals float the Comal river, but don't go if you plan on floating the Guadalupe. They haven't got any rain there and most of it has to be walked. I went on Memorial Day and it was low, then went a couple weeks ago and it was even lower. The banks almost meet at the horseshoe. Also read the paper where they were planning on banning beer bongs and jello shots.
