Take a trip down the Brazos

[jdupre']

I was fooling around on MapQuest looking at the path of the Brazos from beginning to end. WOW! This river has more turns and twists than a deranged snake! If you want an idea of what Texas River Rat and Jack are up against do a little experiment. Go to MapQuest and type in Waco,Tx. , then choose the altitude view for 16000 meters( the eighth block down from the top on the size chart on the left). Use the "hand feature" and go north west to the source of the Brazos and just start following the river southeast to the Gulf. The river is nothing but turns and switch-backs with hardly any really straight sections.

Texas River Rat has taken on quite a quest to run this crazy river.

Looks like you can paddle North East South and West all within a mile.

Oz, with those gustly Texas winds , I'll bet you find out in a hurry if your boat has trouble with weathercocking.

Are you suggesting that since Jack is there in the area to paddle with txriverrat it will be windy ? Man have you had me fooled , I never knew you have paddled with him.

Judpre , you are a person of many secrets and surprises. Now let me let you in on one major secret...... Give Jack Grits or Vienna's for the meals and forget the beans , then the winds decrease by 90%. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sparky, I think Jack has a secret weapon. I think he uses beans as a means for jet propulsion. No wonder he paddles so fast.

Well (he modestly admitted) I have been known to generate some wind from time to time. I took some Great Northern beans along, mixed them with pintos, and added some hot sauce given me by Seed Tick.
