Funny, because an acquaintance of mine (he lives in Albuquerque) wrote a book along the lines of Rivers of Texas. Might have been him, I don't have a copy to check. Verne Huser. Small world.

Good luck getting that book. There was a big festival up the Stilly last week, too bad you didn't get up there then. I read about it in the Everett Herald.

Enjoy that water. I grew up always looking at Puget Sound, or Lake Whatcom, or various rivers in places where I lived around the state. Don't take it for granted. I consider myself extremely lucky to live next to a year-round creek here, but it is a tiny thing in comparison to the bodies of water up in the Northwest. Sycamore Creek (in my back yard) is a tributary to the Trinity River that flows eventually into the Gulf of Mexico.
