These are photos from the La Grange trip sponsored by HCC in November. A great time was had by all! Fraser and Janice were in the lead boat and we paddled close to 12 miles the first day. Linda and I were relative newcomers to Texas paddling and the Colorado proved to have quite a number of challenges for novice paddlers. John was the sweeper for the trip and he and Ron helped some of us who got hung up along the way. It was a beautiful day on the river, seasonably warm it was nice to meet new friends who shared the same interests in paddling.

and Janice who helped lead the way and were responsible for helping organize
the paddle
The
canoes and kayaks pulled up on shore and the tents pitched for the night
of good food, conversation, rest, and rejuvenation. In the morning Mary
made us breakfast and many pots of coffee were consumed. The hot coffee
came in handy especially since there were two canoes after setting off
the following morning that had some "unfortunate circumstances."
Linda and I were blessed to have fellow paddlers come to our aide and to others who may have misjudged the river. Our members, are not only kind and thoughtful, but knowledgeable and patient in helping the "neophyte" paddlers.
Thank you Fraser, John, and Rob, as well as all the others who made this trip truly great!

Z's untiring effort to make sure we were well fed, with healthy, tastey
food. For some of us it was the first time we had ever seen or tasted
food from Dutch Ovens...... (they can really weigh down some canoes -
ask Pauline about that sometime.)
