Note to self
It's best not to check river flow rates when storms are moving through the area. I keep seeing spikes and getting all excited. But really, it's been so dry that the spikes are something like a river going from 30 cfs to 100. Not terribly helpful.
But I did have a thought for our kayak trip - we could paddle the Colorado below Austin. I understand it's pretty slow-moving there, but at least it's somewhere we haven't been (I've never paddled there either) and there's plenty of water.
Some links:
An outfitter that does rentals for the section near Bastrop http://www.risingphoenixadventures.com/Paddling.asp
A place near Weberville that rents on that section of the river (a little closer to town) http://cookscanoes.com/docs/rates.html
Description of the river (this is an awesome site in general for all Texas rivers) http://southwestpaddler.com/docs/colorado.html
Also, this isn't terribly exciting, but if anyone is up for a Town Lake paddle, the Austin Kayak Meetup is going at 11am this Saturday. In my attempts to meet more kayakers, I'm going, so if anyone else wants to come along.... :)
