Boats in Guadalupe River at Louise Hays Park
It's true folks, people used to ski in the little widening of the river caused by the narrow dam at Louise Hays Park. Just yesterday someone told me they didn't believe it. I keep getting photos of boats and skiers down there. And I remember riding in my parents' boat while they skied there. So... I think it happened. Maybe.

For sure it is true!!!! As you know, Joe, my whole family skied there!! Can't wait to see what other photos might surface!
ReplyDeleteIn my youth, I skied in that river many, many times.
ReplyDeleteI, too, skied there numerous times in the early to mid 50s behind Cotton's boat, but not as often or as good as Julie's dad.
