Comments:
Your blog site is impressive. Nice lay out, great pics. Good job. Next time I am in South Bend I would like to hook up with some of you for a weekend paddle but at current gasoline prices it will not be this year. Wish us some rain here in Texas so I can do the planned paddle rather than pulling and walking the Colorado River from Bastrop to La Grange.
