The weather prediction was 70 degrees so we headed over to the Red River. We noticed a good flow when we looked at the river, but when we got in, we realized there was a very strong head wind. It looked like it could be a very long day. The water was at 6 feet today so we made the decision to try the forks in the river that we hadn't explored before. I think we took about 3 forks and they were fine. I was going to take one fork to the left, but could NOT get my kayak headed to go around a downed tree. So I paddled over to the main channel on the right. We only passed 5 other boats today! We had lunch at our usual spot, and by lunch time, the wind had died down. We noticed after lunch that it was getting much warmer. When I got to the car, it read 80 degrees. Good old Red River - another good paddle!

| Scotty recently waxed our kayaks and they sure looked beautiful today! |

| Just one of the forks that we tried. We had to get out and walk into deeper water. |
 |
| Our favorite hidden lunch spot. Even though the water was high, we couldn't get up the creek. Too much silt had been deposited at the beginning. |

| Green, green, green. Spring is here! |
