I live south of the mouth, in Cedar Bayou aka Baytown.
My brother's name is Scott Ward. He mechaniced at the Ford Place (Bobby Whiten back then i believe) in Madisonville and then I think it became Drake's or something like that.
I made a tape one day in march about 10 years ago just boat riding on the Trinity with my youngest daughter and a couple of her cousins. We'd had a cold spell the week before and that day was clear and warm, T-shirt weather and we lost count of all the gators we saw out sunning, "charging their batteries". If I can convert it over to digital, I may put the tape on Youtube or photobucket and post it.
