Welcome to TexasPaddler.com

Notice of site construction:  Sometime in the future I'll be upgrading my CMS.  I'll be doing this while the site is online, so you may observe some weird things happening.  For instance, in the menu section, you may (or may not) see a new link to photo gallery2.  Photo gallery1 will continue to be the default gallery for awhile until I get the new one set up the way I want it.  At that time I'll attempt to migrate all content.  For some comedic relief you can come back now and then to see how I've screwed everything up.  At the speed with which I've been doing anything the last few years I anticipate that I'll be finished by the time my preschool grandson graduates from high school.  Probably need to upgrade then as well.   Ah--a never ending cycle.

TexasPaddler.com is very happy to announce that we are now sponsered by Brazos Boat Works .  The primary goal of Brazos Boat Works is to provide plans of small paddled craft for the home builder and a limited number of fine wood composite boats for those who don't have the time nor interest in building their own.  BBWorks also has an online catalog/shopping cart where you can purchase a wide variety of kayak seats, paddling and fishing accessories--and more is being added every day.   Members of TKF (Texaskayakfisherman.com) and those who navigate to the Brazos Boat Works shopping cart from TexasPaddler.com or BrazosBoatWorks.com are eligible for a 10% discount by entering the phrase "TKFspecial" in the appropriate box.   You can get to Brazos Boat Works by clicking on the link , or you can go directly to the Brazos Boat Works shopping cart .

This site is generally a Tripping, Exploring, Paddling, Fishing, and Boat building site. I hope you find it informative, interesting, and a place to visit every once in a while. In the future you can expect to see more articles and pictures on activities that mostly involve small paddled craft. I'll be writing many new articles about Trips, Paddling, and Boat Building, but I've also added a link where you can submit your own articles. I'm pretty flexible concerning content. Just remember that this is a family oriented site. There is also a nice photo album where you can get a look at a large variety of pictures and post a few of your own.. I've included a guest album where anybody can post pictures of interest. In addition there are a few specific area albums listed under the Guest Albums category where you can add pertinent photos. I add these albums for people who submit articles with pictures. Prolific authors can have an album of their own. All you need to do is contact me.

This will be a continually evolving site. My goal is to keep it fresh and encourage participation. You can contact me with suggestions, links, or questions at:
