I was on the Brazos with Dan, and when we got to striper alley towards the end of the day, I realized my camera was gone. It was worse because we had some good CPR pics from earlier in the day. So I cut short the end of the trip and told Dan I'd meet him back at Hwy 16. I was going to backtrack and do a thorough search of the river in the hopes of finding my camera (which was waterproof).
I looked everywhere as I made may way back to the bridge, but didn't find it. The search was hampered by the blueish grass that grows there during certain parts of the year. So I backed up the truck and started to break down my gear, still very disappointed that I'd lost my camera. I was just about finished packing my gear and yak into the truck when Dan showed up.
He holds something up and says, "Look what I found." He had my camera, which he spotted in the rapids near Flint Bend. The camera had been in the river for a couple of hours, but it worked fine. I still have the camera, but now I use a float.
