The bald cypress were in full autumn color as seventeen paddlers enjoyed another beautiful Texas November day on the water. With the Guadalupe River flowing at only 40 cfs, Joline's choice of the stretch from Comfort to the Seidensticker crossing was perfect. And having the temperature climb into the 70's simply added to the ideal setting and experience.
Reflections were out in force.
A new paddler: Cynthia introduces her friend Aini to Nancy.
Steve shows off his new shoes - with matching laces!
Joline massaging the bottom of her kayak on the rocks.
Tom, Reiko, and Bing ready for the river.
But first a quick (and unsuccessful) attempt to diagnose the source of the smoke emanating from the steering column of the shuttle vehicle, Henry's minivan.
George's grandchildren, Hannah and Lance, eager to get started.
Susan at the put-in under the IH-10 bridge.
Miguel at the portage.
Reiko about to be devoured by the root of all evil.
Steve with his daring seal launch - showing off, as usual.
Joline enjoying the show.
Cynthia gives Aini some pointers.
Pablo under way.
Reiko and Nancy patiently await their turn at a sharp bend.
Cynthia enjoys the challenge, as Pablo is ready to offer assistance.
Another overhanging tree.
Just some more boring scenery.
Lunch break!
The Paddlers (especially an enthusiastic Reiko) do enjoy eating!
Lance ponders the eternal question: Candy or blueberries?
Keep passing!
Bing sharing his wisdom about something or other.
Milo patiently eyeing the passing of the bread and butter.
Sandra, another paddler new to the group, wonders if we will ever stop eating.
Back to the water.
Sandra pretending to have fun.
Aini and Steve make it through the tight squeeze.
Renewal
Under the canopy.
Nearing the end of a great day on the Guadalupe.
