I want to take my girls (10 and 14) on an out a short class I or flatwater canoe trip saturday. Out and back is an option. Thinking about Little Maumelle. Any suggested put ins or other options. Dragover seems too low as do other streams. The Ouachita below Remmel looks like it may be a go but I may...

This reminds me of an incident on Cadron Creek a few years back. An experienced kayaker capsized and could not get out of the boat. The paddler spent way too much time underwater and in fact said that inhaling water was iminent. The problem was not the grabloop being tucked or even the tightness of ...

My very brief 2 cents worth on lower richland........ I love it. I've done both upper and lower more than a few times and I feel that Lower is under appreciated.

The real winner in this boat deal is all my buddies who I've borrowed boats and gear from over the many years.

Whatcha want to bet that Big Foot fella has Dale Earnhardt's number shaved on his back?

Thanks for the correction Amos! It seems I make that typo just about every other newsletter!

Can someone make this a sticky?

Sounds to me like a job for Counselor Crane! Being that he is a close personal friend, I expect I'm a shoe in to be a judge

I'm a big ole boy too. 6'3" 220.lbs (before breakfast!). I paddle both a Dagger Honcho which is a design that is about 4 or 5 years old I think and a Jackson Super Fun. I love them both. The Super Fun would be my boat of choice for 90% of my paddling except my size 13 feet get pretty cramped. I...
