It aint a fishing trip so I figered I'd post it down here.....Just throwing this out there, if some body wants to come along. FireFly49 and I are planning a day trip this Saturday,
The Trinity River just out of Hunstville on FM 3478 past the Estelle Unit. I drove up there today on my lunch hour, the river is up a bit, but the flow is better than last weekend.
The pre-plan is to stage the vehicles at HWY 21 in Riverside, and launch on FM 3478. It is approx 15 miles by river. 5 to 6 hours depending on the wind, ( the river is wide in this area )
Trinity River FM 3478 bridge 14 miles from Hunstville
Camp at Harmon Creek Marina Saturday night, and go over to Trinity, Tx and paddle White Rock Creek Sunday, 7 miles round trip
White Rock Creek launch on Hwy 94 There is a nice ramp and bulkhead here.
The Saturday trip is not written in stone yet, still watching the river.
As a back up, we may go over to the Brazos, in Navasota and paddle it to see how the camp sites are for the Oct 3 trip.
Yall got plans this wekend? Paddle & Camp

Re: Yall got plans this wekend? Paddle & Camp
Wish I could make that trip but I am working this weekend, last weekend for the year. I have not paddled the lower trinity and in the Huntsville area and would like to explore that area sometime. On Oct 2-4 I am headed to the Illinois River in OK, then to Goose Island on Oct 15-18.
Have fun,
Earl

As long as I don't have to cook I won't gripe about anything that's being served! Actually, the MRE's I've had so far were fairly tasty........ perhaps being quick, easy to prepare and no clean-up had a lot to do with it, ya' suppose?
