With wife and son we kayaked the South Llano River in southwestern Kimble County. We put in off of Highway 377 West at what is known locally as the "first" highway crossing of the river before you reach Telegraph, Texas. We floated 3 miles toward Junction, exiting the river at County Road 150. Monarch's were a constant stream overhead along the river course and congregating where there were shady patches of Frostweed. Where Bailey and Cajac Creek enter the South Llano River we observed huge swarms of butterflies that were forming roosts (6:00 p.m. or so). We never exited the kayaks to investigate the larger patches of frostweed so our numbers are probably low. I am not brave enough to carry my camera on the river as there are good rapids in places that require full attention to navigate.
