Saturday Paddlers - Mother's Day 2009

Sally made Mother's Day extra special for Kathy by joining us and the Saturday Paddlers on an afternoon run on the Guadalupe River from Edge Falls Road to Guadalupe River State Park. Fifteen paddlers and a dog in thirteen kayaks and a canoe had a nice day on the river. The water was flowing at 54 cfs.
