— The Thompsons from Texas!, Alvarado, TXIt was great. We were a little nervous at first. Mostly that one of us would have an “Out of Boat Experience”. We were actually the lead boat and the rescue boat for our trip. Erica, our guide, was oustanding. Taught us all the good tips, how to stay dry, and kept us entertained. Reservations and getting set up was a snap. We were even a little late. Called and told them on the way and they held the trip for us. Lunch was the best fajitas we had ever eaten. Even our 17 year old son got plenty to eat. We are planning on going again this summer. Same trip and hopefully the same guide. We are hoping to bring more friends and family. See you in June. Best 8 hours money can buy….
