Texas Hill Country temperatures and gas prices soar as summer tourists flock to the Frio River

Hot summer temperatures reaching the 100 degree mark, higher gas prices and lower Frio River Water levels have not deterred many from loading up the inner tubes and heading to the Frio River crossings in Concan area.  Gasoline prices in Concan are at 4.79 a gallon.  This week, the Frio Valley Ranch Golf course is seeing golfers book tee times early in the morning to take advantage of the cooler morning temperatures.

Heading past Seven Bluff Crossing today, a crowd of a hundred perhaps more could be seen relaxing under canopies, floating and wading in the water.

Meanwhile in Uvalde, gasoline prices according to Gasbuddy.com are about $4.43 a gallon.
