This trip is part of a two day paddling experience.  Described below is the Saturday event.  Sunday is the San Antonio Bay Partnership (SABP) Powderhorn Shoreline trip to be registered for separately using San Antonio Bay Partnership Paddle Trips and choosing up for the Powderhorn Shoreline trip ($20.  Accommodations are available at Allan and Brigid Berger's house.  Below are accommodations available.  Please contact me if you are interested in staying at the Bergers'.

Caution!  They have six cats at the house but they stay on the patio (they call it the catio).  If you are highly allergic that will not work.  If you need  a cat fix most of their felines love to be petted.
