About this audio guide
This guide to the Oasis on Lake Travis, outside Austin, follows the night in June two thousand five when lightning struck the cliffside restaurant and its founder, Beau Theriot, watched decades of work go up in smoke. It traces how the place he built in nineteen eighty two on a five hundred acre ranch got rebuilt, and why staff still cannot agree on exactly how many people it seats today. Stand at the rail where the original treehouse deck once stood for the clearest sense of what was lost and rebuilt.
