We have an annual tradition of doing a spring canoe camping trip in the Missouri or Arkansas Ozarks with our friends Wayne and Lynda. Today the tradition continues. Today we will put in on the Eleven Point River, a national river in southeastern Missouri. The plan is to paddle about 50 miles over four days, camping on the riverside. Then, we will take off, re-provision, and put in the next day on the Jacks Fork or Current River, in the same general area, for seven days, assuming the water levels are suitable. We have paddled on the Jacks Fork and Current Rivers several times. They are spring fed, clear green, and beautiful. They are known for good trout and smallmouth fishing. We believe the Eleven Point will be similar and the weather forecast is excellent. We are looking forward to another grand trip.
We will be out of touch for the next twelve days or so and will report when we return.
