Guadalupe River, Summer 1999

The Camp

Sittin' around the camp.  The big tent in the back is ours.  :)

Cynthia, how's the coffee?

The River

Okay, the canoe with the hole in it is yours, Will.

Yah, Will's working hard here, eh?  <g>

It was a beautiful day, not too hot but sunny and blue skied.  You couldn't ask for a better day to be on the river!

The River was about 350 cubic feet per minute, just about average.

Still, trying to do the Chute in an aluminum canoe provided Joe and I are one and only spill for the day.  That's our empty canoe floating there, after dumping both Joe and I into the drink.  Dang 'Tubers were so thick that one of 'em jammed the canoe up against the rocks as we were trying to navigate the Chute.  And over we went.  

Late in the day, at the end of our canoeing.  That's me, cooling off in the river.  

Notice the leaden skies, it really started pouring down rain not long after this pic was taken.  

Love my wax-treated canvas hat, perfect for filling full of water and dumping over your head.  :)
