San Marcos Trash Fest

Coming from out of town... is there a place we need to sign up at?? Any maps (how to get there)?? And what time is the dinner going to start??

Oh... What would the water temp be around that time??

Thanks in advance

I have not been to The Dive Shop yet to get the details. I will try and go this weekend or next. The water in the springs which feeds the river is usually around 72 degrees all year.
The website archman has given has much of the info.

Okay...is this a rumor, or fact? I was told by a personal friend that the water in the San Mafcos river is going to be COLD, not 72 degrees... anyone know for sure? Thanks!

that's what I've heard too... so that's why I asked!!

I don't see how the water can be much colder than 72 degrees, as the river is still fed via Spring Lake, which is always around 72. The distance from the spillway to the first park is inconsequential... not much time to cool (assuming the air temp was radically different, which it isn't anymore). Only some serious rainfall drainage should cool it, and that water would get get rapidly flushed.

Better check with the dive shop anyways. Ha ha! It's even called "The Dive Shop."

72º can feel like 42º when it's cold and/or windy. Maybe that's what they meant by cold.

Or when it is really hot outside.

Year around the water is 72 I promise. A fact. I was at the clean up last year and have made dives both winter and summer.

I am really hoping to go- a lot will depend on if my daughter needs me or not to help her with her new baby. If she's doing okay, we are planning on going. Will probably be closer to that date before I can give a definate. Hope to be there though! We actually are considering making a Comal trip next weekend, 3/19-3/21. Anyone interested in being there then?

We plan on going. We are going by The Dive Shop this Sat to see if there is any other info we may need. I post it if there is.
