Texas has some of the world's most beautiful rivers ... I'm not bragging, it's true - look it up ... and one of them is the starting point of a hellacious race/journey that throws super hot temperatures, sharks and snakes at participants.
I know that one of the summer camp locations that my daughter always looked forward to attending each summer was at Amarillo College. We would get that camp book in the mail and we would look forward to picking out the fun activities.
