About Robertson County, TX

This weekend is the annual Pioneer Days Celebration and fund raiser for the volunteer fire department and today's turnout seemed pretty substantial for this great little community just outside of Franklin, Texas at the Wheelock community. Ponytails and pistols, gospel and bluegrass, horse rides for the kids, lots of arts and crafts, and plenty of good BBQ were just part of the days festivities to celebrate the old pioneer days of Wheelock, Texas. Some lore and some facts say that Wheelock missed being the capital of Texas by just a couple of votes. Others say that in its heyday it was rather wild with over 20 saloons...of course a saloon could have consisted of a makeshift lemon aid stand type bar with one bottle , 2 glasses and a barkeep. Still today it is a wonderful and history filled little bedroom community. Many folks commute daily to Bryan-College Station and Texas A and M University from Wheelock.

If you happen to be on the water at Lake Limestone ...one of the few places you can go to to gas up is the the Running Branch Marina located at the end of a finger on the west side of the lake , on the old Mckenzie Cemetary Rd. Running Branch has been in operation as long as I can remember ( I think since the lake was new) and is my spot for ice, drinks, gas, food,and bait when we run out. If you happen to visit the area stop in and get some supplies.

As the drought continues at least here in central Texas ....lake water levels are falling...including on Lake Limestone where this photo was snapped on Saturday. From looking at the water marks on the bulkheads it appears that Limestone may be about 4 feet down , which in many cases makes it difficult for some folks to even launch. If they wait too long some boats will be stranded. Rising and falling levels can have some positive effects however , especially in the long run, on fishing as low water levels stimulates new plant growth and means an increase in the food chain supply. Hopefully the rains will come this fall. Last year's rains seemed later than normal too.

If you are thinking of a weekend trip to a Texas lake you may want to check with locals to be sure you will be eve able to launch your boat.
