Wanted to discuss how exactly the car camping aspect would work if we are floating down river from access point to access point? thanks

[David Haessig]

We will be floating to set points and then shuttle back to the campground. Day one we will go from steel creek to Kyle’s landing. Then go to your campground. Day two we meet at Kyle’s lsnding run shuttle and then paddle to Erbie.

[Eve Gilstrap]

Is there a club trip weekend of April 12 for both the Buffalo and the Jacks Fork river??
I’m interested in both. Eve

[Mohammed Aziz]

Wanting to attend this trip with my 6 yo son, but dont have the right boat. Does anyone have a tandem sit in kayak or a 14 foot canoe I can borrow for this trip?

[Maura Reinhart]

I’m interested in the trip but only FFS campsites are available. Is it usually easy to get a site without a reservation? Dennis, I’d be open to sharing a spot if we can get one.

[Scott Thierheimer]

Scott Thierheimer is going.
1st time to the Buffalo, I usually overnight on gravel bars, I’m hoping that there’s a campsite still available and we can get the same location, maybe share a campfire and hear about adventures with laughs fun.

PS.If Aziz wants to borrow my 15′ Mad River Journey canoe I will bring it with me.

The best way to find out levels is at the Buffalo Outdoor Center.

I am signed up, and plan to carpool with Stacy. I am concerned about us getting a site, because we will be leaving at noon on Friday. If anyone who can get there earlier can save us room at their site OR snag us a site if the are going early I will happily give them the money to pay for it (including paying for an extra night if anyone is arriving Thursday (before the Rush) (I know we aren’t going to Rush, lol) thanks for any assistance.

[Stacy Kistler]

Debbie and I booked accommodations. We’re all set, so don’t worry about getting us a site! Decided to come down on Thursday instead and we found somewhere nearby to stay.

[Parker Cline]

I am wondering if anyone has extra room on their site for a small tent or could claim a site on Friday for me?

I am unable to leave early enough to get down before dark Friday

Thank you!

[Carolyn Knarr]

Nathan and Don Keller have also signed up. Welcome to the club!

[Kathleen Pszonka]

I think I’ve filled it out twice now just to make sure. Sorry if there’s duplicate paperwork.

[Briana Conley]

I’m signed up, along with Heidi and Mike

[Mohammed Aziz]

Thank you Kathy and Scott for offering. Will have to pass on this trip. The Borbeuse Bluebell race got postponed to this weekend so I have that commitment. Will catch yall on the next one. ✌🏾 🛶

[David Haessig]

The weather is predicted to be great for the weekend.

[Carolyn Knarr]

Thanks for letting us know, Mohammed. We will take you off the list.

[Stacy Kistler]

Hi all – How likely is it that the trip could be cancelled? I know no one has a crystal ball, just wondering if I should cancel our pricey cabin rental and gamble on a FF campsite instead. Looking for expert advice & thoughts. Thank you!

[David Haessig]

The river will be good for the trip. The Buffalo rises fast after a heavy rain but it also comes down fast.

[Dennis Strubberg]

As I stated in the April Club meeting we have not had success with people following the required procedures for ACA approved trips. We need everyone attending to fill out the provided trip waiver for each trip so that we can provide the proper information to the ACA. This includes the trip leader and all individuals that participate in the event. We also need any non ACA members to pay the ACA liability insurance fee.
Thanks for your cooperation with this.
Dennis

[Carolyn Knarr]

Here is the link to the waiver for this trip: https://waiver.smartwaiver.com/e/mHaqrk7yQ49aCoT26Fx38F/

[Dennis Strubberg]

Stacy, The Buffalo will drop quickly this week. Right now there is no significant rainfall forecast for this week. If you look at the upstream gauge you can see how quickly it is dropping.

[Kathleen Pszonka]

John Meyer and I’m driving down Thursday to secure 2 sites. We’ve promised Gary K, Gary Palmer, Dennis Pierce,Scott, Lorie to share with us at Steel Creek. That makes 7 on 2 sites. We will share if there is room. We just can’t buy more sites if vacant . Most people are willing to share . There are flush toilets, tap water. Bring a cable lock for your boat . Helmet for class II. Dress for immersion . Down load off line maps as there is little cell service there. Buffalo Outdoor Center has free maps . Kathy

[David Haessig]

I am leaving now for the Buffalo. I will be at Kyles Landing and will only be able to check for emails, voice mails and the website once a day when I drive to the Buffalo Outdoor Center to use their WiFi. I will respond at that time.

[Kathleen Pszonka]

There are first come sites at Kyle’s as well. If you find Steel Creek filled . Kathy

[David Haessig]

We will meet at Steel Creek Saturday at 8:00 am

[Kathleen Pszonka]

Correction: I’m trying to get 2 campsites at Kyle’s Landing . I’ll have an American flag there to mark my site . Kathy

[Randy Morgart]

If anyone is camping at Steel Creek, just seen a notice on their website that there is no drinking water until further notice. Might want to fill up before you leave.

Does anyone know if Kyles Landing has Drinking water?

We’re leaving late afternoon tomorrow, let me know if you need anything.

Bri and I did a scouting run today and the level was great with very little flood effects. You might want to bring rain gear or splash gear.

[John Meyer]

I’m not going to be able to attend due to Infrastructure issues with my house.

[DebbieDyle]

Stacy and I arrived tonight Friday). Is anyone planning to paddle on Friday? We are in an Outdoor Center Cabin in Ponca.

Thanks Dave and Bri for putting together an outstanding trip. As always everyone chipped in as need to make it all work. Special thanks to Nate and Don for helping pull my car up the steep part of the hill.

I’m worried about the river level. Checking the link from Dave, the river is at flood stage today where we’ll be paddling.
