Who's Your Crawdaddy?!

70 pounds of "mudbugs", who knows how much beer and probably 50 of your closest friends... sounds like Sunday's "Memorial Day Mudbug Melee" at my house. It was blast. I dont remember much past midnight but I know I had a good time. If you were there and want to see photos "Click Here" and if you didn't make it check out the pics anyway to see what you missed.

Mulberry!

Sunday we floated the Mulberry River. We floated from Wolf Pen to Byrd's Landing. The distance was 9.00 miles; the water was about 2.10 feet and cold. The trip took 4 hours and 45 minutes. We spent 3 hours and 3 minutes paddling; the rest was spent messing around on the river. Our average speed was 1.9 MPH with sunny skies and temperatures in the 80s. Four of us and three canoes made the trip. Zac and Melissa, Spencer and Wesley.

Upper-Buffalo!

Sunday we floated the Upper Buffalo River. We floated from the Ponca Low-Water Bridge to Kyle’s Landing. The distance was 11.3 miles; the water was about 3.75 feet (17 inches of air space at the Ponca Low Water Bridge) and cool. The trip took 5 hours and 56 minutes. We spent 3 hours and 8 minutes paddling; the rest was spent messing around on the river and hiking to Hemmed-In-Hollow, “The Tallest Waterfall in Mid-America”. The waterfall was flowing pretty well. Our average speed was 1.9 MPH with sunny skies and temperatures in the high 80s. Eight people and four canoes made the trip. Zac and Melissa, Eric and Delia, Emilie and Abby, Frere and Tate.

BIg Sugar!

Sunday we floated the Big Sugar Creek in Southwest Missouri. We floated from the Creekside Campground at Bentonville Hollow (creek) and the Hwy E Bridge to Camp Tilden at the Cyclone Low Water Bridge. The distance was 8.17 miles; the water was just less than four feet, cool and clear. The trip took 5 hours and 26 minutes. We spent 2 hours and 57 minutes paddling; the rest was spent messing around on the river. Our average speed 1.5 MPH under partly sunny skies and temperatures in the mid to high 80s. The water was cold because it is spring fed. 11 people five canoes and one kayak made the trip. The fishermen caught about 20 bass and I soloed my boat.

War Eagle!

I had to cover the craft fairs at War Eagle this morning. Pretty boring to me but I got this nice photo of the War Eagle Farms' barn.
