The old low-water bridge on Gruene road leading from New Braunfels to Gruene has been torn down and is slowly being rebuilt. If you understand that everyone around here loved the bridge, but realized that it was dangerous, deadly and the time had come for it be replaced. We loved it on lazy hot summer afternoons, even if we weren't in the water, it was always fun to take a slow drive through the shopping tourists, down the big hill and over the bridge. You always had to drive extremely slow and cautiously due to the fact that the toobers exiting the river had a tendency to walk into stopped cars after several hours of merriment dragging a now empty cooler down river.
While all the locals and I can only assume more than a few outlanders are going to miss the old bridge. We are all looking forward to the wonderful new bridge that is due to open for Memorial Day of this year. We have been assured that the unblocked view of the river will still be available. I'm checking up on them every week or so and will keep the pictures coming.
