Re: Welcome Home Jim Krueger!

Thank You Cowper for your sweet article, and to all of our friends for your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Starting last year with a triple bypass heart surgery, I have just completed my third episode of this procedure. Marlo and I just returned from Houston and a successful repair...

Re: Join me in a Class II-II+ creek outing

Mike,
I think you're correct on the possible weather situation. I'm going to be out on this one though. Our old dog, Blackie, is having some issues and currently in the doggy hospital, it looks like Marlo and I will be sticking pretty close to home for the foreseeable future.

Best Regards
Jim

Re: Join me in a Class II-II+ creek outing

Mike, A marshmallow indeed, the last tooth I had removed was a molar quite some years ago. I had my dentist send me to an oral surgeon so I could be put out completely. I didn't want to be present for the proceedings, with the doctor going at it with that pair of cow de-horners... I was definitely n...

Mike,
Nice to see your post, that looks like a pretty run. I'll try and look at the board a bit more often to see if anything develops.

Re: fiberglas repair

What kind of damage do you have with your paddle? A split in the blade can be often repaired DIY fairly easily with a good quality marine epoxy.

Re: Done Paddling...Need Info

My friend, Connie, and I have paddled many miles together over the years. I wish I could share some of the pictures I have of Connie running rapids on the Buffalo or the Upper Caddo, or some of our lake trips, or some of the camping scenes when she and Marlo and I, and other friends were afield. If ...

We had a very nice day on the Caddo today! The level of about 6.30ft. was just right, and the weather just the best. Thanks Chris&Andy, and Ed for joining us! Keith, I'm sorry we missed connections today, we waited at the meeting place until almost 11:30 before deciding to go on. I wanted to cal...

Re: Caddo River float on Saturday, 20 April

Great, Marlo and I will look forward to the company! The rain put the river in good shape, I'm guessing it will be in the 6.3ft. range by tomorrow which should make for a nice trip. Lets meet at 11am under the Glenwood bridge as usual. Keith, if you aren't familiar with the area, you will cross the ...

Caddo River float on Saturday, 20 April

The weather forecast for this Saturday looks very nice for the sunshine and pleasant temperature potential, Marlo and I are tentatively planning a trip from Caddo Gap to Glenwood if the water levels will also cooperate and will hold at a minimum to decent level by put-in time. I'll check on things e...

Re: Mar 17-31 Paddling Southern Missouri & Arkansas Rivers

I first met Al and Ana some years ago when they attended our School of River Paddling on the Spring River to teach and assist with the operation. Such nice folks, just a delight to be around. In the years since, I have always enjoyed viewing Al's springtime Missouri streams floating itinerary when h...
