Okay @RenaC , you have been through it, what can people do to prevent from having to do this?
I still say the recovery from surgery like this must be very challenging. But it is amazing of the recovery powers of the human body.
Stay in shape, don’t age and don’t ask silly questions.
There is no such thing as a silly question, that is a well accepted concept…There is such a thing as a silly statement however. That makes you the King of two things.
Well I would say you’er the king of 2 things too… jackasses and having too much time on your hands…Show some respect…not to me…

Maybe I can spend another couple nights at Ozark enroute to NM. Won’t be paddling.

Mozark, would love to see you, it has been way to long. FYI - we typically go to Low Gap one night, I would think either Thursday or Friday. Nice that it’s now just right down the road in Jasper.
Dick,
Seeing you is always a highlight for all of us! Rob and I will be there Wednesday afternoon sometime. Hope to see you there.

My plan is to be there Wednesday morning for paddling that day leaving Sat morning or Sat night. I have been on PNet for a long time and have always wanted to join in these spring/fall trips including the WI River trip since that is closes to home. Working 2 jobs (college tuition/saving for retirement), kids in school, bad hip and kind of lost the luster to canoe kept me away. I am still working the 2 jobs but all kids are in college or done, left hip was fixed Dec 20th, and I’m trying to see what level of canoeing I want to do now and in retirement. Ventured to Rutabaga to test drive some Swift canoes and to WPASCR last year to try Savage River and Hemlock boats. As you can see I am escalating my efforts.
I have not been camping since Iowa Project AWARE in 2017 so I need to purchase alot of things. No canoe rack on the prius, sleeping pad, maybe a tent etc. It will be a mad scramble that is for sure to get ready. I won’t be much help with the shuttle, driving a prius, but I can pay for gas, help load/unload and carry canoes, and help wherever is needed.
Hello Dick it has been a long time. Dick and I had a contest one cleanup on who could grab the most tires in a single day. I think his total was 20 and I had 16.

I wish I could join but my wife and I are already committed to another trip. A group of us spend a week in the Ozarks every Fall and we’ve never hit it when there’s enough water in the Buffalo. We generally end up paddling one of the spring fed rivers to the north that always have water.
Perhaps you could attend the Fall 'vous. We’ve always held that on the Current River which is more heavily spring fed. Often the Baptist Camp to Cedar Grove section is too dry in Fall, but otherwise there’s always been enough water there.
My husband and I will be there Wednesday but not in time to paddle. We’ll paddle Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Look forward to meeting you.
