BUFFALO RIVER FLOAT (PRUITT TO HASTY) 5/08/10

Not many folks out today!

We had twenty-seven but we soon got lost in the mist of it all!

The "put in" is easier here than at Steel Creek

Our first task was getting ahead of the crowd

...but we soon found out, that was impossible!

Bill

Chuck (while dry!)

A bit cool today (55 degrees when we started at 10:30 A.M.)

We would search for "sunshine"

.... did I mention the wind was blowing also?

Someone's duck was loose!

   

It would follow Bill the whole trip! Neat!

Gerry and her little "yellow rubber ducky"!

Jack and Cathy

Dr. Chuck with something in his ear .....WATER!

Harrison and David

Buffalo River Bluffs

....and they were nice!

Terrence and Nanette

Dale and Barbara

We were ready for lunch

Heather, Amanda and Erick

Jared, Christi, Cathy and Jack

   

Danny

TAKAHIK on the Buffalo

Lunch is over time to hit the river

They were dry for awhile! ....but.....

This was happening all day

That hat must belong to this guy?

 

Nice hat

 

The river was calm for the most part

First time for Buzz to turn over ....ever!

 

The two amigos (Chuck and Danny)

Danny (dry as a bone)

....and so was Brenda

   

David

David getting ready

"Splash"

He finally popped back up!

David jumps again...

.... and shortly after, there goes Harrison

Who said there were no fish in the river ....well kind of

A view under the bluff overhang

Dale and Barbara make it look so easy

Looks like trouble up ahead!

Chuck before and after

Chuck stayed wet most of the day

Ah, peaceful once again!

Gary and Erick about to lose it!

 

 

....and peace once again

So nice, when it is calm

... and a lot of paddling

A long stretch

 

Chuck before and after (I believe this was the third spill?)

 

Heading for the home stretch

 

The "good" sign

Getting rid of the water

The landing was easy, just crowded!

Telling tall tales of the float

I believe even Ron got wet

Dale and some of his family

Cathy and some of her family

   

... and this family looks like they may be in trouble?

Now for our reward

Volcano Burger

Calzone

Chicken Fried Burger

Ozark Burger and fresh cut fries
