Kayaking with Justus
Early Saturday morning, Justus and I got away for a kayaking trip down the Colorado River in Columbus. The trip started near the Business 71 bridge at Howell’s Canoe Livery and ended at Beason’s Park. The six-mile trip took about three hours – we stopped a couple of times to swim and have snacks along the way. We enjoyed the fish, birds, and cattle along the route. Even the underwater plants were beautiful, waving in the river current like colonies of flags. Some sections were so quiet and peaceful we could only hear the occasional breeze in our ears – no rumbling of cars or humming of air conditioners.
Below are a few pictures. I’m not sure why the water looks so green in the pictures… reminds me of Guar gum (e.g., Slime). The water was actually visible down about five feet – enough to see gar and catfish swimming nearby. Mr. Howell said, “you shoulda brought your poles, the bass are really biting.”
