[Texascavers] OT - Scout troop needs a canoe

Yes I know this is totally Off Topic of caving.  Push "DELETE" if you would like.   However, I know a lot of cavers also enjoy paddling rivers from time to time and some may have even purchased a canoe in the past.  If that canoe is now taking up space and you would like to transform it to cash,
