We are on our way to the 3^rd annual Bat Yak Dinner.  This is an afternoon adventure based on seeing small Mexican free-tailed bats taking off from their Congress Avenue Bridge hangout at sunset.

Traffic builds as we approach Austin.  We closely follow one of our fellow kayakers; we are nervous about finding where everyone is meeting for the picnic.  The fortunate thing is our kayaking buddies are easy to spot – kayaks hanging out of the backs of trucks or on trailers are a helpful clue.

Late September – Kayaking, Pennybacker bridge area and Bull Creek

We are heading into greater Austin for today’s adventure.  Approaching and actual driving through a small part of Austin means sitting on the I-35 parking lot along with other temporary two and three lane parking lots.  This activity reminds us of some of the details we lived through in our past, working life.
