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.
