San Marcos Thanksgiving Trip

Over the Thanksgiving week ,we  went to San Marcos, Texas.  On Thanksgiving day we went to Rio Vista Whitewater Park in San Marcos. This  will be the first time to kayak the San Marcos River.  We put in at The Lions Club  tube rental.  The float down river was around 30 minutes.  The fun began when we reach Rio Vista Park.  Rio Vista Park is a man made whitewater play park, there are three drops starting with a large wave and ending with a small  drop.    Stayed there all day, and played in the rapids. 

On Friday met up with some other kayakers, we did the rapids several times and after an hour or so of playing there we went down river.  There we came to a 4 to 5 foot water fall.  We all got out of the boats and scouted the falls.  Bill was the first to go over, made it look so easy, then Jill and Sandy, and last me.  Sandy was learning to kayak and she flip on the falls.  I made it ok , That was my first big drop. What a good day of paddling.
