YES!

What? Paddle Buffalo
Where? Pruitt to Hasty
When? . . . uh . . . when?
Why? . . . no need to ask or to answer. We are paddlers and love the Buffalo
How? . . . Low but Floatable begins at 3.8 . . . Gage height 3.68 12-01-2010 08:15 CST ?!?!?!?!?

i need some water therapy!! ( time on the river.) :poke: ..... hi, my name is bob .and I'm an addict ! i thought i could stay away from the hard stuff. and just use the recreational type. you know only on weekends .but i'm afraid it has turned into this addiction. and i found my self sneeking off on a tuesday , or a thursday to go. and now I'm just leaving the water run in the sink just to get a little fix . my sprits were lifted by the recent rain storm .but it was short lived .resulting in a madness ! .....i have been think a lot about golf shoes lately. I even went and look at a mountian bike . but luckly i found a deal on a trolling motor .it snaped me back .but only for a short while.

My addiction is unquenchable. I was with Debo and Cowper last weekend. It was wonderful but it just made the addiction worse. I rediscovered the Current and Eleven Point because the Buffalo has been so low this fall. Also discovered some interesting things along the Buffalo. Bluff overlooks that even I can get to. Weather for Fri-Sat looks good for camping this weekend.

Hey, guys! If y'all go, you may need to count me in. I need a fix really bad.

If I don't catch y'all, I'll be planning a trip to Rush next week --anywhere from Baker Ford on down. :clap: The Buffalo Point gage is at 2.98. I think it was about 2.79 when we did the cleanup float, maybe lower.

Any day from Wednesday until the following Tuesday will work for me. Name the time and place. I've gotta paddle!

the water was low and the wind was something i had not planed for. 16 elk cows at mill creek so i guess the water wasn't that bad. they were drinking it. now if you read about some dieing ,I'll have to change that last statement :poke:
