I would have loved to have gone on this canoe trip and honored to be asked but since I cannot get up and down at the age of 80 years old, I had to turn it down. When I was in my 40's I went on a canoe trip seven miles down the Buffalo River in Arkansas. At least I have done it. Wishing all a great trip and I know they will enjoy themselves with Captain Layne Logue at the helm.
***** UPDATE *****
Weather
Saturday: Partly cloudy. High near 75F. Low 52F. Winds are light and variable. Chance of Rain 13%.
Sunday: Partly to mostly cloudy. High near 75F. Low 52F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of Rain 14%.
The rain is moving away from the forecast. If there is a potential for a shower… bring a rain poncho… and possibly put your backpack or gear in a trash bag … or dry bag if you have it.
Since we have 15 people signed up right now (maybe 1-5 more)… I’m thinking the Delta Point Islands would be better and have more room. There will be hammock trees there too. See new attached Google Earth screenshot. It’ll be better exploring too. The freshwater otter movie was filmed on these islands. It’s a little more paddling upstream… but we have a break /stop at a sandbar… and we’ll go slow and easy.
