Going With the Flow at Guadalupe River State Park
This slice of Hill Country heaven offers ample opportunity for fun, as long as Mother Nature is in the right mood.
Sometimes the easy park gives you the most trouble. You expect challenges at a place like far-flung Bentsen–Rio Grande Valley State Park, at the very southern edge of the state, where I and my trusty sidekick, Emily, spent a dark night in a lonely tent within earshot of the Rio Grande at an otherwise deserted campground. Or Big Bend Ranch, in far West Texas, where reaching our ridiculously remote campsite required a bone- and nerve-rattling journey through unforgiving desert. But during our most recent attempt at mild-mannered adventure, it was laid-back, family-friendly Guadalupe River State Park that thwarted us at every turn.
Team 90s in this debate includes two Hall of Famers, four 10,000-yard receivers, and
eight Pro Bowlers. The Jets began the draft with Keyshawn Johnson the last receiver to go No. 1 and the Colts grabbed Marvin Harrison with a first-round pick obtained via 1994 s Jeff George trade. A year after trading up for J.J. Stokes, the 49ers found Jerry Rice s true heir apparent in Terrell Owens (Round 3). This class s depth, however, wins out. First-rounder Eric Moulds made three Pro Bowls and took the Bills WR1 baton from Andre Reed; Joe Horn (Round 5) made four as a Saint; Muhsin Muhammad (Round 2) played 14 seasons; the Giants depended on Amani Toomer for over a decade. Also including Terry Glenn, Bobby Engram, and Eddie Kennison, this draft remains the bar 25 years later.
