Weird thing I saw thrown into Lady Bird Lake near North Lamar today
Today I was kayaking on Lady Bird off North Lamar bridge and saw a homeless guy throw something heavy off the bridge into the water. It made a huge splash and he stood there watching it sink.
At first I didn’t think much of it, but curiosity got the best of me so I paddled closer. As I got closer, the guy started walking toward the end of the bridge and the way he was staring at me honestly creeped me out, so I kayaked away. From a distance it looked like maybe a heavy rock-and-roll style leather boot or something.
I ended up calling 911 just in case it was evidence or something worse. On my way back later, the guy was gone, so I got a closer look. It looked like a pair of spiked boots tied to a skateboard or something similar.
Probably nothing, but definitely one of the weirder things I’ve seen kayaking downtown.
