We completed our annual 3 day, 2 night Neches River father/son trip this weekend (Thursday-Saturday). Thursday it rained all day. We were pretty miserable. My old Eureka 2-man tent is about ready for an upgrade. Woke up with water dripping on my head and my feet were wet.
Friday morning it was clear skies. We had a great day of paddling. However, the river was high so the second night it was difficult to find a good camping spot. There were no sand bars left. We camped in the woods at the same spot we did last year, but because of all the rain it was pretty muddy. But the wind was blowing and I was able to dry all my stuff out from the night before.
On Saturday we paddled the last 17 miles without stopping. The boys had a great time. The first-timers enjoyed it despite the difficulties and want to do it again. That means it was a success!
