Originally was passing on the school because of another trip, but that got cancelled. A friend was also interested so it looks like it might be a possibility if there are still openings. Is there somewhere I can check the status or do I just send in a registration and wait to see if I made it. Mark

I will be coming through Arkansas on May 5 -9 after a week on the Current River in Missouri. Was thinking of doing middle or lower Buffalo (looking for flatwater up to Class II). Even though its mid-week, are there any trips scheduled on Buffalo or other rivers suitable for a relatively inexperience...

Thanks Richard, I would say its a 99% chance that I would try to paddle on the Buffalo if I make the trip to Missouri. I am up for any of the simpler sections if we can get together for a shuttle. Rush looked like the best choice for upstream and back if I was solo. I really enjoyed the Woolum to Ty...

Thanks for the ideas. I will do a little research on those areas so I am better prepared before coming up. When it gets closer to trip time and I have a more definite schedule I will post again to check on conditions and to see who might be available to join me.

I am pretty far away in Corpus Christi. However, I could combine a trip to Shreveport with some time at Caddo...

Are there any symposiums/events closer to Texas than the Midwest Freestyle Symposium in Ohio where I could take some basic canoeing classes. I am interested in beginners classes for soloing on flatwater and Class I/II rivers. I have done about 20 days of flatwater and 12 days of class I/II river tri...
