Sounds like a Swamper function in the making!

Me, too...I'd like a mapable address or somewhere to start the planning phase.

Ann...could you give me an idea of the hotels in the area of that part of the river?

I found several Hotels in my Streets and Trips map thingy. These are on I-35 around the intersection of 80.

Red Roof Inn
Rodeway Inn
Microtel Inn
Best Western
Southwest Motor Inn
Days Inn

Surely one of those will work.

Searching San Marcos sites, I found out the Lion's Club meetins in the Activity Center but that doesn't look like the place Ann showed me. So I'll wait to get more pertinent info for a map.

Ok if you are coming in from the North or South on I-35 take the Aquarena Springs Drive exit (Dee same exit you took when you came to my house) go West on Aquarena Springs Dr. toward town. When you get past Bobcat Stadium (College stadium) Look for Charles Austin take a left at the light (only direction you can turn).

As you approach the railroad tracks (about 1/2 block) take a right on Jowers, it will look like you are turning into a alley but it is actually a road by then you should see the signs saying City Park Lions Club tube rental. It is only one way in so just follow the rd. You will dead in into the park parking lot. The registration is behind the tube rental building but there will be a lot of cars so you will be able to find it.

Dee made a list of hotels/motels.

Here is a website that lists most of the hotels in San Marcos

I made an edit to this post because I forgot they changed the name of Bobcat Dr to Charles Austin. When you get past the stadium it will be the first light you come to. Make a left (it is the only way you can turn)
