Anyone coming to Spring River between now and next Sunday?

I'll help with shuttle in order to float almost any day.

I'm going to be on the river next Saturday! I don't know if I'm camping, but I do know I will have my GoPro running. I'm probably gonna get up there late Friday or really early Saturday. Should be plenty of crazies to watch!

I have a couple of small lots on the river at Hardy, am there for the summer in a travel trailer. Wasn't me at Riverside...

I'm thinking of coming down from Mo. with my newbie nephew Fri eve. 7/6 and paddling Sat & Sun. Would be willing to connect for shuttle. Probably stay at Riverside or Spring River Oaks. I can send some contact info. if interested.
It's been a few years since I have been down and not sure I have been on it this low? Is the projected level like dragging type low?

Steve, glad to help with a shuttle, not sure if I'll be floating or not. River is low but no dragging yet. A few bumpy spots, and weaving between rocks in the area below Dam #3. Still a fun float.

Give me a shout at 5o1 589-2055 when you get close.

Thanks Jan, I will call you later. Now I'm looking for a place to stay that has A/C. I'm not into camping in 90-100 degree temps and humidity. I sold my pop-up with A/C. There does not seem to be any cabins or motel rooms around? Any suggestions? I have my nephew anticipating the trip now!
We are willing to stay a reasonable distance away from there.

steve,
Riverside(870) 625-7501 and Spring river oaks (870)856-3885 has camper cabins. I would call them today for reservations though.

I checked both the other day and there are no vacancies. However, we did get a room for Fri & Sat at Riverview motel in Mammoth Spring. Thinking of paddling from dam to Spring River Oaks on Saturday and from (?) to Hardy on Sunday. I want my nephew to get to paddle high falls. Is there access somewhere just above saddler falls?
Anyone is welcome to join us.
Jan, I will still call you later.

Steve, I've stayed at that motel. Not bad. We were overlooking the river --- and the railroad track. The train noise didn't bother me. I know it's all along the river.
My cell signal has been iffy the past few days. If your cell # is different than the one you called from, would you text it to me? I can call you when I go into Hardy.
See y'all (& We66er) this weekend. Have a great 4th!
