Here's a photo of Donna and Bill Grimes and Karen and Jim Barton posing in front of Stonehenge Rapid ... at low water, of course! They are over here in the UK visiting me. Whenever we cross over the Thames or the Avon or the Wye on our travels they look longingly and wish they had their boats!
Once a paddler ... always a paddler.
Scouts Need Boat Donations
Troop 889 has a high adventure program involving the "white water merit badge."
We are planning training sessions on Lake Woodlands, a trip to Hildalgo Falls and a weekend trip to the San Marcos / Blanco rivers in early August.
We have 9 scouts and 4 adults. We curently have have 8 boats randing from a 84' Hydra swift, pirouette, animas to G-force. We are in need of 5-6 more boats to fit the remainder. If you have any old ww boat(s) that is collecting dust, let me know. No boat is too old or too used. I will arrange pick up. San Antoino and Austin are not too far to come to get a boat.

HCC Geocache Report
by John Bartos
We took a very pleasant trip out in the Lake Charlotte complex on Saturday and checked up on the HCC geocache while there. It is still intact and in good shape. There have just been a few visitors to it. Another good reason to check out a magnificent place to paddle. Water on the Lake Charlotte gauge was at 11.2 and that was superb.
