Guess What River

Post by Earl »

I made a 2 day 3 night trip with two of my boys and some friends from DDRC this past weekend. Guess what river we were on, should be easy for most of you. We camped at the state park and did day runs above and below the park. Lot of pictures.

This trip was in lieu of our annual Freeze trip to the Illinois River in Oklahoma. We had to change plans due to the historic flood they got in late Dec which destroyed many homes and businesses up there. Some of you may remember the book and movie “Where the Red Fern Grows”. I know the fellow who owns the property, house and barn where the movie was filmed. It was all washed away last month, really sad as it was a very beautiful old home and section of the river. I plan on making a solo trip down the river in the next 60 days just to see what has changed and determine if the river is passible.
Enjoy,

Mythman got it. The Guadalupe. We camped at Guadalupe state park and ran from the park down to Rebecca creek road on Saturday then from FM3351 down to the park on Sunday. Beautiful river and very quiet this time of year.

I have one more trip report to get caught up on from the first of the year down the Colorado. Then I have a series of several trips this month, Feb, Mar, Apr, May.

Awesome pictures! Did y'all paddle downstream and back up or did you have some sort of shuttle to get back to camp?
