Over the weekend Teresa and I went on over to Lake Bryan. We went for a little exploration. One of Teresa’s cohort members had gone with his family, and they enjoyed it, so we decided to check it out. Plus, it has been a little warm, and getting in the water is a good thing on days like those.

We drove out to the lake, which took about 20 minutes, and drove around a little to find the best spot to park. Then we walked around a little. Since we are in a bit of a drought here we were able to walk along the not-usually-there beach. Tons of jetsam was on the beach; beer cans, water bottles, various other garbage, and a bikini top. It made us want to come back with garbage bags and pick some stuff up. It seems like it can be the kind of lake that college kids, or just kids, go to and do stupid things on. Such as; driving boats too fast, drinking too much beer while driving boats too fast, listen to bad music on their fast boats, and other such shenanigans. Thankfully the day we went was the day of a football game, and the lake was not as crowded as we thought it might get. Though there were a few knuckleheads who seemed to like going fast on their watercraft.

So, after walking around for a while, we decided to put our blanket down on the grassy, shaded, area near the beach. I laid down, and relaxed, while Teresa slowly immersed herself in the water. As she was doing that, we both watched some of the knuckleheads try to get their boat out of the water. Their pickup kept spinning it’s tires and not going up the ramp. Eventually some other knuckleheads offered their “expertise” on the situation, bouncing up and down on the back bumper. This actually worked, and the knuckleheads with the boat problem were able to drive away. I was kind of hoping that they would be stuck there, and that maybe their pickup would end up in the lake and some drama would follow. Oh well, maybe next time.

It was a good outing, something we will have to do again, and hopefully with more people. The only problem with the whole thing, besides knuckleheads, were some unusual bug bites. We ended up with red dots on our arms and legs, only a few for each of us, but still more than we would like to have.
