Known as the world's toughest canoe/kayak race! From the headwaters of the San Marcos River to the Gulf of Mexico.....Imagine rowing 262 miles! There are many obstacles...one of the first is the dam where I am camping...the first team to arrive is a 6 man team from Belize in a 30 foot custom canoe! Everyone has their own method of portaging around this dam....they are equipped for the trip as the only thing they can take on is water and ice....the record time has been 29 hours....you have to finish in 100 hours...only about half will finish....logjams, snakes, fatigue, hallucinations are all part of the experience!
