Camping on San Marcos River

I am fortunate to be able to camp on a friends ranch only 2 miles from the headwaters of the lovely San Marcos River. I have been camping here for about 34 years now. They are like my extended family!

This dam, built in 1906 for electric power generation, is on the property.I swim above the dam in the deep, clear, slow moving water (essentialy a lake). Years past, I was swimming almost 3/4 mile every day here, but due to recent rains, the river is full and faster moving, so I'm not going as far.
