Crews are still making repairs to a popular tube rental spot, Don's Fish Camp, which was damaged by the Halloween floods in San Marcos. Valerie Kilgore has the story.

Standup- Don's Fish Camp is known to locals as the hot spot for floating the river and having a good time. But, after the destruction of flash floods, it's quiet, desolate and hardly recognizable.
Now you'll find damaged buses, deflated tubes, and trees snapped in half. Fifteen out of 29 buses used to transport people and their tubes were damaged after floods raised the river to dangerous levels. A company official says about 50 to 70 thousand dollars worth of damage occurred. Some repairs have already been made.
Stand up- This pile of rubble is where the party deck used to be before it was washed away by the Halloween floods.
Local residents came out to see the destruction that descended upon the popular tube rental spot.
SB- Just to see the things displaced and things that you recognize and they're in different places. Just watch what you ask for. We asked for rain and we got rain.
Crews probably won't be finished until sometime early next year, but the damage shouldn't have any impact on business next summer. Company officials say you can expect Don's to look nearly the same next year except for the deck that was close to the river. For Bobcat Update, I'm Valerie Kilgore.
