Chevron has decided that Karen's talents are needed more in California then Houston, so her last day in Houston will be May 14th. This will be her last official HASK paddle in Houston. Driving Directions: From downtown Houston, take I-10 east 20 miles past Beltway 8 to the Cove Exit/ FM 565. This is exit 803, immediately before the bridge across Old and Lost Rivers and the high Trinity River Bridge. Turn left on FM 565 and go north 3.3 miles to FM 1409. Turn right onto FM 1409 and go 3.3 miles to CR 417 (Parkway St.) It's marked with a Wildlife Refuge sign. Turn right onto a small paved road which will turn into an asphalt road after about a mile, and go straight another mile from there. When you dead end into the park, there are two launch sites just a few hundred feet apart. We will launch at the one on the right of the levee as you come in that goes down the bayou south.
