On New Year's Day at exactly Noon (there was a countdown), about 100 locals jumped into the 72 degree San Marcos River near the headwaters in San Marcos, Texas. This is my first time
to do this 12th Annual event. My daugther Bonnie, (left) and her friend Rachael participated as
well. The air temperature was about 50 so the water actually feels
warm...its weird...and the excitement makes you forget you are about to JUMP IN! There is no turning back as the current is strong and we had to be careful not to step on the endangered Wild Rice.
After the plunge we used a large blanket for our "dressing room".
The River Foundation serves Black Eyed Peas and Hot Chocolate to the Plungers. There were Hot dogs as well. This was a great way to break into 2010 as I will be spending a LOT of time on this river in the upcoming months. I have registered for Graduate classes and it just so happens the River snakes through campus.....Weeeedoggieeeeeee!!
