What's New
August 23-24, Saturday/Sunday. Dog Days Float.
DUE TO AN OVERWHELMING RESPONSE, WE ARE CLOSING THIS FLOAT TO ANY MORE PADDLERS. UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE LIMITED
TENT SPACE ON THE BRYANT AND SIMPLY CANNOT FIT ANY MORE IN.
Join us on the beautiful Bryant Creek for the third
annual Dog Days Float. What better way to celebrate
the mid-summer mind-altering heat than spend a
weekend in it? Think of it as a 36-hour sauna marathon
session. We will launch Saturday from Hodgson
Mill on our way to Warren Bridge with frequent cool
beverages and relaxing dips. Sunday we'll top it off
with a group swim in the cool (icy?) waters of Brixey
Spring. Contact Jason Frantz at
or call 417-379-
2229.
September 6 and 13 & 14, Saturday and

Classroom session will be Saturday the 6th and field
sessions will be the 13th and 14th. Contact Dale
Dortch at

Avast! The fourth annual (Talk like a) Pirate Float
2008 is scheduled for Sept 12, 13 and 14 on the
Current River;
We're going to make this year's pirates float a 3 and
2 day float.
For those who can break away and join us on
Friday, we'll most likely be putting in at Cedar
Grove and floating to Akers (shuttle at 11:00ish).
We'll camp somewhere right above Akers Friday
night.
Saturday morning we'll float to Akers and meet
up with the Pirates who can’t make it until Saturday.
We'll plan to shuttle their vehicles at 11:00 then
floating to a gravel bar somewhere down river and
camp Saturday Night. Sunday morning we'll float
out to Pultite.
