‘Twas the night before moving,
and all through the house…
All the boxes were waiting,
they’ll quite soon be roused!
That’s right, folks! Move day is upon us! Wylie will get the truck in the morning and we will fill it up and be on our way (in 2 shifts—Ahseville to Auburn; Auburn to College Station, with a night somewhere in between…)!!! We will be on the lookout for interesting things along the way, so check back often!
I guess I better try to get some sleep or something…
So…it seems that Wylie has been awfully busy doing all kinds of things off his list, and then some extra things on top of that! I need to just start easy by learning how to put words onto the screen on my own…so HOORAY! for this inaugural post from Teresa!
I have mostly been busy doing schoolish type things, but today was an important day in the business of moving to CS…we will have a roof and we will have a way to get all our crap there (well, I have a lot of crap, Wylie has mostly treasures, I think…I’m a bit of a packrat…and a bit nostalgic….oh well)…But it is exciting! Things are happening!
So far this Spring has been a rainy one here in Asheville. Rainy times make the rivers rise. Rising rivers make me want to kayak more. Having a brand new (only used once at this time) kayak makes me want to kayak more. Not having a car makes it difficult for me to use my new boat and kayak more. Sigh.
Thinking along those lines also makes me start thinking about kayaking in College Station. I have done a little research online, trying to find rivers to run in, and near, College Station. There seem to be a few, but one that runs right near town by the name Brazos. Not much of a white water river it seems. Mostly level 1 according to riverfacts.com. The closest seems to be a play-hole about 30 minutes outside of College Station (see the photo) called Hidalgo Falls. I am not getting my hopes up too much for the Brazos or Hidalgo Falls, but at least it will be something. And with the weather being what it is down there, I should be able to boat year round. I do like that.
So, I just took a break from writing that bit up top and remembered to search on americanwhitewater.org for texas river info. Found out a bunch more information regarding rivers. Listed below are some useful links:
