I dunno if anyone is interested, but I was told today that if anyone is in the area and is looking for some interesting work, they are looking for someone to operate the mowing boat and do some lake maintainance over the summer.

You're right... lots of things went on me before my hearing.

The volunteer program at Spring Lake has done such a good job in eradicating hydrilla there that the city of San Marcos has asked that they spearhead volunteer efforts in removing the weed from the upper reaches of the San Marcos River. That could be a fun day/weekend. Anyone interested in participating in this effort?

I would love to help. Any excuse to get wet sounds good to me.

Yup, the Aquarena program is good, and they do a good job of making volunteers feel welcome.

YES, I'm interested. All I know of the San Marcos River is what I've seen from the patio of Joe's Crab Shack (after volunteering at Aquarena). Would be a good opportunity to try it out.

That's the most fun part of the experience! :wavey:

Especially when it's a boat full of kids

.....operate the mowing boat and do some lake maintainance over the summer.

That'd be different.....all the years of mowing the yard....how often do you get to "mow the lake"?

I heard that the hydrilla grows about 6" a day so it would likely be every other day or so, working around the boat paths and such.

The challenge it seems is dealing with the wind and surface current. I think the other part is actually getting wet and pulling some weeds underwater.
