EAST GAFFORDS CREEK TUESDAY, 4/12/16 ?
Posted: Sun Apr 10, 2016 9:47 am
If the rain hits the right area in Yell County on Monday, I'm up for a run down East Gaffords Creek. The Class II+ creek runs 5 miles out of the Ouachita Mountains north to Highway 28 at Bluffton which is southwest of Danville. Some questions immediately come to mind:
WILL THIS BE A FIRST DESCENT?
WILL YOU BE A PART OF THE FIRST GROUP OF PADDLERS TO SUCCESSFULLY NAVIGATE ITS RAPIDS?
DOES A WILLOW BRANCH TASTE BETTER THAN A WITCH HAZEL BRANCH?
DID THE PADDLER BELOW RUN THE CREEK AND BRING THE GOATS TO CLEAR A PATH THROUGH THE BRUSH?

I expect the run to be fun and full of surfing spots. IF THE RAIN COOPERATES I plan to be at the gas station/grocery store in Plainview at the intersection of Highways 9 and 26 at 11:00 a.m. I will check the rain amount about 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday and will post here if the water looks like it will be there. My photo collection from the creek can be seen at
