Louisiana Park & Play

Post by RomanLA » Mon Apr 13, 2009 4:12 pm

I stopped by Kisatchie Falls and took these pictures this morning. The falls that are normally running are on river left. This spot is on river right beside a campsite with an eddy. :P

Roman,

Hey this is Chris from Lufkin. You shuttled me at the Tot a few weekends ago. Call me if you ever go paddle Kisatchie or Toro. Im only about 1.5 hrs from either. Id like to do them both.

Not bad...a couple of those shaped up better than I had expected. I added a link to some video to my first post. It's taken from river left, but you can see the play spot towards the end on the far side of the river.

Hey Chris...I'll definitely give you a call.

Yeah, i just wondering where your skid plate, and floatation device was??? :shock: I think i meet you down at Stoner when the bridge was washed out. Im the guy that brought the pulleys and stuff to pick the bridge up. Did you sign up for the white water clinic coming up?? It's a awesome clinic to put into your "bag of tricks"
