Brown County State Park featuring forests and autumn leaves
Columbus, TX October 13,2017 The bridge into Columbus, TX over the Colorado River on route 71.
First trip with a new camera and new kayak! Really liked the craftsmanship on this old railroad bridge that's still in use. There we tons of old pilings and structures in the river just upstream from here from the old trestle and port. #getoutside #kayak #adventure #river
Cool, dreary wet morning on a kayak trip down the Colorado River outside of Columbus, Texas. The fog and mist gave the river an interesting feel. In the background on the river you can see an old buttress, the remnants of an old railroad bridge that crossed the river a hundred years ago. #kayak #adventure #paddle #river #adventurepacked #texas

4/10 (1 review)
The condition of the apartment was poor. There were mildew stains around base of tub and the couch looked dirty. Part of choosing this option was the convenience of a washer dryer. Well they wouldn’t turn on.
