well now that's kinda tough Neil...from the choices you gave us...from a boating standpoint, I'd say the Colorado river out west..for badass boats. But actually boating on the rough, swiftass river is something else..lol Or are we talking scenery? I'll take the Frio for that..spent many, many hours floating on it.
The Guadalupe is absolutely stunning, too, just out of the damn. I think they are all pretty awesome, and all have something to offer. :smile16:

I'm partial to the Lavaca for pretty much same reasons Tim mentioned about Altair. Its out in the sticks & sees very little traffic, so its great for a relaxing day on the water without a bunch of BS.
I do likes me some Colorado River in either Bay City or Altair though too. And the Brazos, can't forget that one. We haven't been there in awhile but hard to beat an evening ride on the Brazos.

Back in the day it was the Texas Colorado from Altair up to the sandbar. I was up there once with Trey, Ashley, Braden and Trey's mom. We had a great day just hanging out at the beach. I think that's the trip I taught Braden to kneeboard. Trey cooked some sausages on the grill for dinner.
Later we started back and about half way to the launch ramp we shut off the motors and drifted for 2 or 3 hours. Just talking and listening to the radio, maybe drank a few beers. The evening was cool when the sun got low and there were no bugs. It was kind of a magic time I will always remember. Times forever gone.
People move on and things change so you can't really recreate that now days.
Currently, I'd have to say it's the Colorado river between Arizona and California. I've been from Needles down thru Havasu to Parker. It's awesome. This summer I want to put in at Blyth and head up to Parker. I plan on taking a month at least and do this.
I will be going to Desert Storm and starting a thread on that here shortly. We will be staying on a 60' house boat docked at The Islander Resort (party central). I will have the 21' Ultra for two days to run around the lake. The thread start April 21.
