When you don’t have an upside …
In less than a year, the population of zebra mussels in Lake Travis has boomed and found its way downstream to Lake Austin.
When you’re young, and your boat has big speakers …
Forget you zebra mussels. This Lake Travis homeowner said one of the biggest issues some lake residents are facing is boaters blasting loud, offensive music in the evenings. And the second issue is boaters not respecting those safety buoys or properties along the lake.
“It tends to be the younger crowd that does this,” Kiel said. “But if they’re going to spend the summer doing this, then I’m going to call my congressman about improving those state laws.”
When you get stranded on a sandbar …
This happened at the Low Water Crossing on Lake Austin when the — dam is opening — warning sirens didn’t go off. Oh, wait … LCRA does not sound warning sirens for routine operations such as hydroelectric releases that happen almost daily, and sometimes several times a day.
When the deer are on your side …
This Lakeway woman is facing criminal mischief and harassment charges, months after her cell phone video of deer stuck in a trap went viral.
When you moved here for the heat …
On Wednesday, LTL’s Cathy Hale shared 10 Lake Travis Area Swimming Spots, along with where you daredevils can jump off a cliff into Lake Travis.
What not to eat when it’s hot …
Real Texans know this isn’t a refreshing summertime treat.
For when you need more closet space …
