canoeing again.

2008 edit: I am not a representative of Don's Fish and Swim Camp (the one in Martindale, Texas) - but I did successfully camp there plenty of times between 2001 and 2007 and am still getting Web hits for it. I liked it. I swam. We got to hang out with Don a couple of times. I think I know people who fished - in fact i'm sure of it, T used to fish before he moved to Alaska, so. We had lots of good barbecues and lots of cold beer and less cold beer, too, so, anyway, directions follow in the original blog entry.

only the people that were the whole point of having this canoe trip aren't going. but we're not waiting for 'em. get a real campsite this time: don's fish camp, in martindale, i believe. don's is awesome - there's a porta-potty and real tent sites and if i remember correctly, there's a grill, and places to park, and possibly a rope swing ... directions from here: To get there from San Marcos, take Hwy 80 east for about 4 miles. The first blinking lights you see, veer right onto a small road that parallels Hwy 80. Take your second right. There is a sign that says Don's Fish and Swim Camp. As you enter you will see a money box. Be sure to drop the fee off, as Don gets pretty pissed at non paying customers. Camping is $5 a night and day use is $ 2. also handy link to the safari site which sometimes has river info. very, very good to have a conveniently located campsite halfway at which we can stow all our gear and not have to worry about tipping over and getting the sleeping stuff wet. Very very handy. Nobody has to carry the stove or propane or the porta - porta - potty. Really quite excellent. Unfortunate that we can't have somebody meet us with a crawfish boil as well, but. Still.
