Re: Big Piney_ Sun Jan 12

Great day on the river today. We had two kayakers (Paul Smith and me), one Drift Boater (Stewart Nolan) and one Super Puma raft (Marcel Jones and Jim). Beautiful day with the river to ourselves. Early morning ice made the descent on the north face of the switchbacks going into Indian Creek valley a ...

Big Piney_ Sun Jan 12

I plan to float Piney from Heltons to Longpool tomorrow.

Will leave Little Rock @ 7 am and will be at Moore's @ 9 am. Have room for another person/boat if you are coming from central AR.

Re: Paddle log: 2013

I had a great year of paddling in 2013, highlighted by the August rains that had every river in the state running. Here is my list, with river levels in parentheses and first time floats noted in asterisk. All floats in my kayak (Burn) except as noted. Winter and Spring Floats: S. Fourche LaFavre (5...

Debbie. Thank you for organizing this trip and showing me a beautiful stream that I had never seen before. I post a link below to a slide show with some pictures I took on the trip. John.

Cadron May 13 Float

Took the day off tomorrow so plan to float the Cadron given nothing else looks to be running. Will be at the bridge at 11:30 if anyone wants to share a shuttle. John

Re: What's everyone bringing to the Swap Meet?

I would like to trade a Liquid Logic Coupe sit-on-top kayak (orange; good condition; rarely used which is the reason for the trade) for a pyranha fusion (medium). I do not plan to bring the coupe unless I hear interest in a trade.

Re: INFO NEEDED: Erbie, Piney, Cadron

Louis - Moore Outdoor lists 3.0 as the minimum for above Heltons. I have never floated Heltons below 3.0, so I cannot tell you for sure. However, I have floated above Heltons many times, and there are a few stretches with a similar gradient to the Heltons run, and at 2.5 it is still an enjoyable flo...
