Richard,
Can we get some dates together for May? I'm helping out on the 16th with the Audobon Society/Search&Res Function at Withrow Springs, Huntsville......................SO as soon as you review the Farmer's Almanac and decide the best timeframe; LET US Buffalo River Addicts KNOW.......................

Appreciate your time! Gretchen

A week on the Buffalo May 17 - 23 is scheduled by several Shreveport area Ozark Society members and ACC members would be most welcomed to join us!! 2 - 3 members of both groups are already planning on being there.

Each day will include a hike (Hawksbill, Glory Hole, Indian Creek, Lost Valley, Hemmed-In-Hollow, etc) and a daily paddle trip from Boxley down as water allows; maybe a road trip to Piney/Mulberry one day. We'll do at least one crack-of-dawn bicycle ride through the Boxley valley, maybe a dusk ride. Base camping will be at Kyles if there's water, maybe one overnight. A wonderful, laid back, active yet totally unhurried week to chill!

It would be fabulous to have some of our Arkansas friends join us. A formal post with a new thread will be done later in April.

Gretchen, I apologize for not responding earlier. I am having a hard time coming up with a weekend I can commit to right now. The BCOS is a great group. If you are free while they are on the Buffalo, I think you would enjoy their company.

Louiscov- sounds nice and may get to tag along...........
Richard- good luck with the domesticity stuff; maybe I'll see you on the
Buffalo in May..............I've got other people interested in joining us and really wanted to introduce you. We'll see how May evolves
Will be in Virginia for a couple weeks.........will think of you while on the Rappahannock River

I joined Painter-Bob and two couples from LA, BCOS, earlier this week for a day on the Buffalo - paddled from Steel Creek to Kyles Landing. Hiked up Hemmed-In-Hollow, the falls had the best pour-over that I've seen. We also hiked up my person favorite, Bear-Cave-Hollow and viewed the series of beautiful water-falls. A few followed the "Yellow-Brick-Road" and viewed the upper falls.

Bob,
Glad to hear you were back to the Buffalo River, paddling and hiking! Wish I could have joined you. These past two weekends I was paddling with Team Stupid, learned lots............ I was amazed at the agility of this group..............along with the insanity, but they make it look so easy.......FUN! I am hooked on waterfalls though!
Probably will float Buffalo after summertime as the bugs enjoy chewing on me!
Miss ya, Gretchen
