Frog Bayou

A little rainy but what a beautiful place.

Nice picture.  Very pretty setting.

One of the most exciting white-water runs I've ever had.  25 years ago in February.  Mulberry was blown out.  I think we were camped at Wolf Pen.  Big Piney was blown out.  So some kayaker friends told us to go over to the Frog Bayou.  Gave us directions.  Near an old railroad trestle bridge, I remember looking at it, and it was rolling big time.  Put our open-deck canoes in and we were off!  almost died several times.  Had to pull over and tip the canoe several times.  I remember a 12 pack of beer cans rolling around in the bottom of the canoe as we went up and down huge haystack roller wave trains.  Never laughed so hard in my life.  Soaked to the bone.  Midway through we pulled over on side of a steep embankment to catch our breath and build fire and wring out our clothes, and drink those foamy beers.  Buddy of mine was shaking and he stood too close to the fire and his leg caught on fire.  He still has the burn marks on his leg to show.  Lot of stupid fun on the Frog.

That train trestle bridge was behind me in this pic. I just dropped down there off the highway to look around.

Nope. I didn’t ask them but they seemed to be headed towards a barn.
