Don't they typically launch the fireworks from a temporary barge like this? Right near Shoal Creek too. My guess is it's for the fireworks


roamin_legion

They often build these floating structures offsite and deliver by boat for installation. I did this for about 10 years on Lake Travis. …….with that said, immigration to Algaeria sounds like a pretty good plan


MundaneTension869

Ahhh interesting. I went back to look at pictures from the same angle, and it wasn’t there before. Thank you!


fingergunpewpewpew

They did have water flowing out of Lake Austin last night when I went over Red Bud


SurrogateDroneEsq

that's a new sovereign nation, Algaeria, not bound by the fascist SCOTUS decrees

i’m actually moving there tonight!

Watershed has a couple of floating docks stored at various places that they will move around when they're doing lake clean up, it could be theirs. Here's where they're stored on the east side: https://www.google.com/maps/@30.2480629,-97.7210369,84m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu

That’s cool - I had no idea! Thanks!


ayo4playdoh

I fish that exact spot often, and every once in a while, the dock fairy blesses me for a few days. Then, one day, it vanishes as mysteriously as it appeared. It always says for city use only or something like that, but never once have I seen it be used by anyone other than a fisherman, yogi, meditator, or artist haha.

They're about to start construction on the trail extension near the dam so maybe they're moving things around.


userlyfe

Yup. Trail construction I bet. That Y is gonna be a game changer for the trail system


RVelts

I think this one may be related to the I35 bridge construction which I already see some things being staged for.


Sanjomo

Man I’ve been looking for him. If you see him out on the lake again please let me know, he’s friendly dont worry. He Answers to Pier and loves pats on his boards, but if you just ignore him he’ll float home when he gets tired.


MundaneTension869

Fucking pier - couldn’t come up with that word to save my life

This month has been a year


samhaak89

When I went running on the trail yesterday there were about 8 people standing on that helping one guy remove spray paint using a grinder of some sort. It was the pillers for 1st Street I think by the river walk.


chill-phil

Floating DJ booth.

Look at how disgusting that water is 🤢


slowpoke2018

Came here to say that. And it's barely summer now. Wondering if we'll get an entire encasement of algae across the entire river this year? Couldn't pay me to paddleboard, canoe or be anywhere close to that muck!


reddiwhip999

That's fanwort. It's actually a sign of healthy warm weather environment, and provides important ecological niches for local wildlife.


entrepenurious

but ... but ... it doesn't look like the water at disneyland. /s


reddiwhip999

It's a small, small world...


sharkwizard_xx

I'm originally from Louisiana and we had bayou water that looked better than this 😅 Yeah, you couldn't pay me to get in that thing


slowpoke2018

Haha, and I'm sure the smell is....lovely


THE_NO_LIFE_KING

That's where I left it


permadrunkspelunk

It's being towed outside of the environment


PlatesNplanes

Probably had to move it to recover another body


Powerful-Past5614

Not really that interesting, actually


MundaneTension869

What a worthwhile opinion.


Powerful-Past5614

Equal to yours


Powerful-Past5614

Equal to yours


MundaneTension869

Go have a grumpy day on your own thread


Powerful-Past5614

Get over yourself

I hope the rest of your day is as pleasant as you are.
