Enjoyed reading your report. Great pic's of a beautiful area!

A couple of years ago or so there were numerous reports of sightings of a mountain lion and loss of pets called in to the sheriff's office & game warden by a number of residents of a large rural subdivision here north of Houston between Conroe & Montgomery. I have family there & heard ab...

Enjoyed your pic's and review of the trip!!

Hey, hey!!!! I'll be camping @ Big Bend for a couple weeks from 11/3 !!!! Will be 1st time during the Chili fest (& plans are to check it out for a day) so can't answer your question other than yeah...I've been warned of the 10,000 people & 750 camping sites & motels booked for 150 miles...

Close to Houston...... you can always go up & stay at Huntsville State Park & paddle/fish Lake Raven. Or..... camp at Harmon Creek Marina east of Hunstville. Lots of choices to paddle/fish there -- can even paddle through the slough to the Trinity River. Or camp up at Stubblefield Lake on th...

Looks like it was a great trip! I'm envious ......but it's on my to-do list!! All I've done this summer is the Colorado or local areas....sigh. But (!!!!) added 2 more yak's to my fleet so I now have more choices, lol!! WS Tarpon 140 and a little 8' Sun Dolphin for my almost 6 yr old grandson.

There's a Montgomery County Flyrodders association....meetings, speakers, fly-tying, etc. Meeting are in the Woodlands...flytying down by Louetta/I-45

Used to paddle up there all the time and have only seen ones around 4-5' a handful of times. Mostly likely the same one at the first bend south of the bridge. But....they are there, lol. A couple of years ago when the drought dried up the area near the ramp I had to drive up there to see for myself ...

Oh, wow! If ya'll haven't done Santa Elena Canyon...it's spectacular! Altho it's been several years now, I've done probably 8-10 of the trips on rafts/canoes through there or Boquillas Canyon. Not sure what the water level is now...when it been dry the last few years they were doing the trips with c...

For future reference when you're spending a few days, you're not far from some of the Arkansas State parks. The first thing that comes to mind is how well maintained and clean every one I've been through have been! Looks like DeGray Lake Resort State Park is a little over 4 hrs from Dallas. It is ab...

O-ooooo!!! I LIKE the idea of upriver!! lol I guarantee I won't ever take my loaded down Queen Mary downstream again! More like I'll go minimalistic and take the 46# Srchr. Hey! It was my first time up close and friendly with a gar..... he coulda' been a little more friendly back!

Oh, wow....... it's been a long time since doing the Brazos!! I'm in (though not too fond of lining the yaks below the dam, lol!!!

I've done the horseback riding a few years ago. I don't remember the name of the outfitter we used the last time.... but it was a longer ride and took us way back into some pretty places! Have fun!!

Thanks, glad ya'll enjoyed the photos. Bassbug.......the weekend didn't quite go as well as it could have because of the weather. Despite the plans to do so, there was no kayak fishing although I did throw a line from the pier for a few minutes as the sun went down on Friday night..... the only exci...

Two weeks ago I spent Fri thru Mon up at Caddo Lake at the state park which has gotten to be one of my favorite's despite some thunderstorms that came through and left some of the campsite's a bit muddy. I was lucky and had a higher, drier site. Thought I'd share some of the photos, most of which we...

Glad you posted an update and photos! Sounds like it was a really good time all around .....'cept for the coons, lol. (And actually better than Harmon as to having a more private wooded site). Those coons are so sneaky; especially at campgrounds where they've become even more talented at getting int...

lol..I recognize that spot!!! .....and yes.....that Viking of Boomy's looks awesome. I really planned to hit AKC's Demo days to get a chance to try one but I'm loaded and headed up to Caddo Lake in the AM for a few days so I'll have to miss the one nearby in Conroe this weekend. From the storms comi...

It's one of my favorite places and close enough I can do a day trip!! Plus... there's such a variety of places to paddle and explore....Harmon Creek, or back into Caney Creek or Turkey Creek... or out to the Trinity River. I haven't been camping there since once last year....(but many times in the p...

UDATE: Thanks! I got around to it awhile back and it turned out great. Used the crockpot and improvised since I didn't have the onion soup mix on hand so kinda'-sorta' did a combination. Did I say I'd had a "good-sized" hunk in my post???? --- just glad I didn't have to share with anyone, ...

Glad ya'll had a good trip despite the rain. I was checking the radar in that area quite often, lol!!!!! How did you get your trucks after taking out from 969?? Good samaritan/ shuttle service?

I agree with the above -- spend the $$ for two yaks. My $.02, speaking as a female, others' experiences over the years, and also having kept my almost 20 year old OT Loon Tandem in my fleet to take or loan out to friends .......... is that they don't call tandems "divorce boats" for nothin...

I hear ya' Beekeeper! My gut feeling is saying no.... yet I've already checked the weather forecasts a couple times just hoping for a little change since I'm still pretty much packed and ready to go. I've really been looking forward to the trip and doing this stretch of the CR. Sigh. I have a feelin...

I've been on the fence all afternoon until I came back in and did the round of checking the different sites & Austin/Bastrop stations. They're all different in their predictions, lol!!!! Regardless, I'm going to figure those sites into the equation that increase it up to 90% with possible severe...

Well.........I'm sitting here going through all the weather forecast sites before I go back out to the garage to finish sorting my gear and decide whether I drive over tomorrow night or early Fri. (Sigh) Weather Channel forecasts 80-90% thunderstorms/rain thru weekend for Bastrop. Weatherbug shows 5...

Yep...you know me.....it all depends on how the weather looks for the trip. As of now, I haven't decided whether I'll make the 3 hr drive that morning, or stay at the Hobo Camp on Thursday night. Either way I'll be paddling on little sleep because of my night owl tendencies, lol!
