I've very seldom been to Eastern Travis County, and had never been on the stretch of the Colorado River that runs through it until yesterday. The family and I took out the canoe to enjoy each other and the Indian Summer. There were a few tiny rapids, and after paddling upstream (and at times upwind) to lunch on a small island, it was fun to ride them back down. We moved at times 4 mph without paddling, according to the GPS. The trip and this book made me want to plan a bigger canoe trip even more than I had before. I HAVE to finish the sailing rig first, though. My idea is to spend 3 days in the boat from Pace Bend to Grelle Nature Area and back, and I'm not paddling the whole 27 miles if I can help it.
