The end results of the trip: A tent and tarp setup that kept me
bone-dry through pretty hellacious weather, some nice holes to return
to when the water/weather are more cooperative, and the discovery of a
small yet adequate campground that's just far enough out of the way so
that the crazies can't overrun it easily. If you're in the area of
Junction I'd recommend it highly. The managers/part-owners were great
folks and seem genuinely concerned with keeping it a friendly/laid-
back place. (Hell, the guy sat around and drank beer and shot-the-
**** with me for a couple of hours during the storms, and even offered
to put me up in their cabin if I didn't want to stay out during the
stormy weather.)

Chuck:
Kind of quit camping due to my last rainy experience in Arkansas on the
Buffalo River. Wife said "No More." But, when I get together on the
Deschutes every year with the guys, I don't mind camping. Now its the YO
Ranch hotel in Kerrville. Even the dog is welcome there and it has
reasonable rates not to mention its proximity to allot of good rivers

Haven't fished the Llano. Have fished several of the Hill Country rivers:
The Perdinales near Fredericksburg and the Guadalupe above Kerrville near
Mountain Home. Both were productive. My next fishing trip will be on the
Guadalupe below Canyon Dam for trout.

Let us know of your successes in the Hill Country. Maybe we can cast a line
together sometime.
