Kayak trip into the Old & Lost Rivers
|
|
On September 23rd, 2007, I took Bob Taylor, Triple Nickel, Glenn Schaeffer, Larry Starnes with a secret friend in the front of his canoe into the Old & Lost River. |
|
|
I used to run my Air Boat all in this area but have not been back in here in years. It is near the Trinity River just East of Baytown. |
|
|
It hasn't changed. It is just as pretty as ever. |
|
|
What better way to spend a Sunday than on the water with good friends in a beautiful place that not many people can get to or even know about. |

I love my kayak ! ! ! |

|
Fishing is amongst the Cypress Trees |
|
|
The roots of the Cypress Trees poke out of the water for a breath of fresh air.... |
|
|
Some of the cuts & guts along Square Lake. |

Bob through the Cypress knots. |

Time for lunch. Notice the 'desert' that Glenn is holding. |
|
|
We are on a beach of white sea shells in the middle of a fresh water swamp - go figure... |
|
|
There were purple flowers in the floating water hyacinths everywhere. |
|
|
Paddling through the Cypress Trees was my favorite. |

Of course, so people cheat big time and get towed by Larry and his 4 HP outboard on his canoe. Larry's secret friend is a large bag of cement in the front of his canoe to hold it down in front... |
