Photo Caption: A fast outboard and lazy sailboat play on Lake Travis’ placid waters near Lakeway’s Marina. And there’s something new and useful at the Marina. For boat skippers large lockers are added. They’re big enough for storage of skis and boating equipment. Your boat, though, won’t quite fit.

  • Coming soon over the hills is the most beautiful season in this favored land just west of Austin. Fall colors in the hills. A pleasing nip in the air. Spanish Oaks and Sumac turning yellow and red. All contrasting in good taste with the cedar’s evergreen …
