We've had site 348 and site 350 in the Live Oak area. Both times was with the in-laws, the weekend AFTER Labor Day. Slightly downstream from where our little trail brought us to the river bank, there is a home on the other side. Somehow, they have a rectangle shaped swimming hole in "their" section of the river. I don't know how they did it, but it's been dug out, rock has been cut to provide a constant flow of fresh water when the river is low.

Upstream from our trail was a dam. Up further were some large boulders with deep pockets and shallow spots. River shoes are required in the Frio. I can't imagine what your feet would look like without them. OK, I guess I can. I love making rock dams and just can't quit. I wore off the skin from my fingertips until they bled. I got out of washing the dishes that night but my fingers hurt!

As for putting it at the beginning of the trip, that might be a good idea.
