Texas 42 is a domino game for four players in two teams, where the goal is to be the first team to reach seven "marks" (250 points) by bidding and winning tricks, with points awarded for tricks and specific sessiondominoes. There are various strategies to winning. Each player brings $5 to ante to the pot. Winning team wins 60%. Worst team wins 40% of the pot.
We play the first Wednesday of the month at the Balboa Club, from 1 to 4 PM.
For new players, a training session is MANDATORY before playing. It takes some time to develop your knowledge of the game, but that adds to the excitement of beating your opponents.
For new player instruction or more information, contact Walt Black at 512-983-2894, or waltblack100@gmail.com.
Registration required to determine the number of players and tables.
If you are interested in getting these notifications, please log into your profile here and add Texas 42 Dominoes to your groups.
KAYAK* SAFETY CLASS
POA Parks & Recreation Dept., HSV Paddlers Club, Boomers Kayakers, and the US Coast Guard Auxiliary
PLEASE NOTE THE LOCATION CHANGE TO LAKE BALBOA!
A basic paddle craft safety class will be conducted in Hot Springs Village at the Balboa pavilion by the US Coast Guard Auxiliary from 1 to 3 PM on 5/10/25**. Whether you are a kayak fisherman, whitewater enthusiast, or recreational lake paddler, there will be information to improve your safety on the water.
In addition to purely safety related topics there will be some good tips to simply facilitate enjoyment of kayaking, canoeing, and/or paddleboarding.
If you have a kayak, bring it and your accessories (paddle, C.G. approved PFD, whistle, reflective signal device, and the required trash bag) to the class to have the Coast Guard representative inspect your boat and accessories. Upon meeting safety requirements, a USCG certificate and a Coast Guard safety inspection sticker will be provided.
If you would like to attend this class, please email Linda Worack at LindaWorack0258@gmail.com to register if a non-member or click here to register through the Boomers website. A count is needed to make sure there are enough handouts for all attendees.
After the class, the Boomers Kayaking group will do a paddle around Lake Balboa.
Notes:
* The Coast Guard Auxiliary is emphasizing kayak safety, but the knowledge and practices will be applicable to canoes, paddleboards, and possibly rowboat and dinghies as well.
**In case of inclement weather, the reschedule date will be provided to all who register.
We will meet at the end of the Coronado Fitness Center/Tennis Courts parking lot by the lake at 9 am. The trail is about 1 mile and ends in the RV park where Cedar Creek flows into Lake Coronado. We will hike to the end and walk back to the Fitness Center.

Join your fellow Boomers for a hike along the Falls Branch trail located in Lake Catherine State park at 9:00 AM.
The trail begins near the campground and winds through the pine/hardwood forest of the park, crossing Little Canyon Creek several times. It eventually leads to a seasonal scenic waterfall on Falls Creek and works its way back to the trail head.
The trail is about 2 miles long and will take 1 1/2 to 2 hours to hike. This trail is more difficult than our usual hikes. There are lots of steps up hill and down, and some areas have difficult footing. The good news is that views make it all worthwhile.
The park is south and east of Hot Springs, about an hour drive from the village.
Instructions to the trail:
Take HWY 7 or HWY 5 to the round-a-bout, then take new Scenic 5 south to HWY 70 and stay on it till it joins HWY 270. Exit Carpenter Dam Road and turn left onto Carpenter Dam Rd. (Hwy 128) follow signs to Garvan Gardens. Go about 2 miles south to 290. This road is about 1000 ft past the entrance to Garvan Gardens.
Turn left (east) on 290 and follow it until it ends at highway 171. Turn left and follow this east past until you enter the park. Continue on this road and follow the signs to Camp area C and the Amphitheater. The trail head is just past the Amphitheater.
See below for the map of the park.
All Boomers members are welcome to come along! We do ask that you register so that we know who is coming and who we should notify if there is a weather delay. If there is a delay, you will receive an email by 7:30 am.
