The Brazos river is best answer so far for this excursion and I think I will start planning based on it. From Possum Kingdom Lake down to the town of Granbury is roughly 125 miles and I think its going to be an amazing trip. I should ultimately like to get a 15- to 17-foot touring kayak but I may opt for a 13.5 foot one instead. Why 13.5 feet? Because boats 14 feet and longer are required to be registered with the state. I could save about $60 a year if I don't have to register it. LOL

Seriously, it would be well worth the registration cost to have the additional length, storage space and sleekness of contoured body to glide through the water like a hot knife through butter. I think it costs $52 a year to register a 17-foot kayak (such as the Wilderness Systems Tempest 170 I have been dreaming about) and having to pay an additional tax on this item each year I use it will just push me to make sure I get every dime's worth out of it I can.

I can just feel myself propelling the boat down the Brazos, the Trinity, around Lake Grapevine, Lake Ray Hubbard, and various locales in Oklahoma, Arkansas and wherever. Yeah, I'm getting addicted to kayaking.
