I was wondering the same thing yesterday when I was out. It had dropped noticeably from the week before.

According to the LCRA, Travis is still 8 feet above the historical May avg. It took Travis 2 years to drop as far as it did last summer. A low lake makes lots of things easier to get to. And it keeps most of the boat traffic off the lake, and......it ain't _all_ bad.

If it gets too low = no windex and super pain to and from the water.

...it's probably way premature to worry about a recurrance at this point. As mentioned, even when it did get really low it took a LONG tme to get to that state, plus they're predicting a VERY active hurricane season for 2010 so additionally there's a fair chance TX will get a significant summer rain event from a trpoical storm or hurricane too.

Crude oil hurricane, awsome

Too low = no boats, parking on the 'beach' and an easy 50 foot walk-in entrance; or at the other end of the beach, an easy 1 step entrance onto the Giant Stride. All on the uncrowded public side of Windy Pt.

...if I had to characterize ya as either a 'the glass is half full versus half empty'
type person, I'm gonna put ya down as 'half empty'.
speakin' of gloom 'an doom, the sun is brightening by 10% every billion years, as it gradually depletes it's core hydrogen and slowly evolves into a RED SUPERGIANT STAR, so within only a billion years, the additional heat will have completely evaporated the earth's oceans into outer space....so at that point we can safely write off Lake Travis for sure!

The images of Travis on google maps right now were taken when the lake was way low, kinda neat to look at.
