San Marvelous!!! Hays County is located right along I-35 between San Antonio and Austin. It's a beautiful part of the Lone Star State, where LBJ went to school back when it was called Southwest Texas. Hays County is full of a bunch of different water activities, like tubin', swimmin, fishin', or just hanging out on the river. Tune into KTSW to get more info on water conditions. I think that a lot of the spots to enjoy the river are just as nice or better than some of what you find in New Braunfels, the other Texas tubin' town. The county seat of Hays County is San Marcos, which used to be a fish hatchery back in the day, so they've got a lot of ponds and water. Someone ought to complain about San Marcos' stoplights, they take forever. If you get a chance to pull off I-35 while you're traversing Texas, be sure to stop for a spell in this wonderful hill country river town! They've got lots of attractions, Aquarina Springs, and of course all the outlet malls. Be sure to follow the rules in Hays County, I know a few people who have gotten booked there, and they might not have the same positive opinion towards Hays County that I do. read more
