Canoe Trip

We went on a 20 mile canoe trip Friday and Saturday on the Brazos river. We went with our friends the Bannerman 's and Durand's. We brought all our equipment in our canoes and had a great time camping out... it has been a long time since we have tent camped. This is the starting point with the Durand's in the picture. We had a shuttle take us 20 miles up the river, drop us off then we canoed back to where our car was.
Scenery pictures, this is supposed to be some of the most scenic areas of the Brazos River. It had beautiful bluffs with a lot of wildlife around. We saw deer crossing the river, lots of Herons, turkey, hawks, and even small herds of cows.
We had a few pictures taken of us.. but we had the only working camera so there are not many pictures of us. I did do some paddling... but I picked up the paddle just for the picture so it looks like I paddled a lot. Later on you will see my favorite way to go down the river:)
"rapids", ok so not everything in Texas is big!
We set up camp on a little island. It was perfect for campfires because it had drift wood all over it and they guys had no problems getting a good fire started for our smores that night.
