This was to be our make-up float for the August 13 float that got postponed, but, alas, Mother Nature has other plans. We will keep a close eye on the weather and make a decision by Friday at 2pm. We will e-blast and post on FaceBook and our website Blog…or you can call Joe Kendall at 512-289-0750. We have great appreciation for this lovely, refreshing rain, but we’ll hope for a bit of a break so we can all float on Saturday, August 20.

Several of our River Sense trips had to be cancelled this spring due to excessive rains and high waters, which has significantly reduced our numbers for the year. Please let us know if you have a connection with a teacher or school who would like to give their kids a unique opportunity to learn river etiquette, something they wouldn’t normally get in a classroom. We do groups of 30 kids at a time but can combine two groups of 15, and the kids we generally work with are underserved youth. Please call or email Anna Castillo at 512-865-1450 or anna@texasriverschool.org with information or questions.

Hi KFF folks! Joe Kendall of Texas River School is keeping a close watch on the Guadalupe River water levels and is trying to come up with a Plan B so we can still take advantage of the water in a safe, fun way. He will arrive at the put-in site early Thursday morning to scout it out then determine if floating is doable for our group. This is a sticky situation and we’d rather not cancel with such beautiful weather, so he’ll make the decision as soon as possible to either go with a Plan B or cancel. Regardless, there are still eight (8) canoes available to rent. If this trip has to be cancelled, please know that refunds are available upon request. However, if you care to turn your prepayment into a tax-deductable donation, it would be most appreciated, and your tax-deductable letter for the IRS will be sent to you.

Kerrville Folk Festival folks, with this crazy wet weather we’re keeping an eye on the Guadalupe and whether or not the river will be floatable due to rain or high waters. We did have to cancel our first KFF Friday Float on May 27 because the river was flowing at a whopping 350 cfs, and it’s looking like this Friday’s float might have to be cancelled as well, if the waters don’t recede more. Generally speaking, the Guadalupe flows at about 50 cfs. We’ve safely floated at 100 cfs but anything above that we’re not comfortable with, especially since many are inexperienced paddlers. With that said, if your KFF Friday Float is cancelled, please know that refunds are available upon request. However, if you care to make your prepayment into a tax deductable donation, it will be most appreciated and you will receive that familiar letter for the IRS.

2^nd Moonlight Bat Float – TRS focuses on river safety, which was the impetus behind our decision to postpone the May 21^st Bat Float. River conditions should be better for our next Moonlight Bat Float on Saturday, June 18^th, with special musical guest Adam Johnson. We hope to see you at our next scheduled Bat Float.

Kerrville Folk Festival Friday Floats – Each Friday of the festival we guide a group of festival-goers on the Guadalupe River for an afternoon of paddling, and playing music in the rapids. Our musical host for the first two Fridays is Mr. Habitat himself, Bill Oliver, who always brings fun and laughter to any party. Bill will not be available the third weekend – he has a wedding to attend (not his own) – but we have two special guests that we think you’ll enjoy. Butch Hancock and son Rory will take guitars and paddles in hand to host the last Friday float of the festival. We hope you’ll join us for all three festival floats.
