Texas River Flow, my 10k contest entry

Texas River Flow App

Part of the app is currently broken due to a change in the USGS api.

My entry in the aneventapart10k contest is a little application that lets you check the river flow (cfs) of Texas rivers. The application gets it’s data from the “USGS water data service“//waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis along with related photos from flickr.

Devil's River Kayaking

On Friday, November 28th through Monday, December 1st Mike Longfellow and I paddled the Devils River from Baker’s Crossing to Rough Canyon Marina (47 miles). This river is notoriously pristine and remote. The weather was perfect and there was plenty of good fishing and rapids along the way.

Tubing and Kayaking Barton Creek

Barton Creek, on the green belt in Austin, is usually a dry, rocky creek bed. Every few years we are lucky enough to receive enough rain in the area to fill it up long enough for a few runs in the tubes or kayaks. 2007 was the last year the creek maintained enough water to run.
