    Devil's River

    An hour or so before dark on the evening of Friday, November 3rd, 2006, I pulled into the small camping area at Baker's Crossing about an hour south of Ozona, Texas to meet my friend Jay, who had arrived to set up camp a couple hours earlier. We did some last minute preparations for our two-day paddle down the Devil's River, dug into our store of dehydrated meals for a modest dinner of spaghetti, and toasted the river with a sip of Tito's vodka.
