Briana,
Try a different browser. That has happened to me when using Edge. I switch to Chrome and it works.

We are exploring other options due to river conditions and the forecasted thunderstorms Thursday night.
Those of us who have already signed up: Randy, Matt, John, Greg and myself are communicating via a group text.
If anyone else is interested in paddling somewhere, please call or text me ASAP. Do not post here or wait until you see something posted here.
Thank you.

Yes, packing for an overnight trip in a kayak is an artform. I believe a good sleeping pad is essential and worth the space given the Ozark Mountain gravel and rock bars for tent sleepers. Think multiple small bags vs a couple big ones and put tent components in separate bags vs everything in the original bag. Definitely test pack before the trip!
River level at Bourbon if you want to watch it: https://waterdata.usgs.gov/monitoring-location/380900091153901/#dataTypeId=continuous-72019-0&period=P7D&showMedian=true
Hi Greg!
That would be great and yes, we could use your trailer!
Please text me at 636-922-3663 and I’ll give you a call to discuss the trip. I’m sure Ed will get your membership in time.
And yes, Huzzah Conservation Area Access at 10:00am on Tuesday.

Trip LeaderTHanks, Dennis
Sending you the waiver link via email which you can complete for you and your son and get that part done with.

Kurt,
It’s possible you’ll be able to string a hammock but because of the flooding, there will be a lot of debris in the bushes and trees along the river bank. There really is no way to predict one way or another at this point.
You might want to review the posts on the Facebook pages: Current River, Jacks Fork & Eleven Point River (Missouri Scenic Rivers), Ozark Riverways Foundation, and Ozark National Scenic Riverways. Pictures on that site should give you a good idea of what the river banks look like.
Okay, I’m registered. Thought I had before but didn’t complete the purchase page. I’ve got the registration emails now.
Dennis
Your son is welcome. Yes, we’ll be gravel bar camping
Dave H still had that 12’ kayak if you want to get it from him for your son
Call or text me if have any questions

Hi John
Let me know if you have any questions.
We’ve changed the put-in and take-out to Woodson K Woods by Maramec Park and Huzzah Conservation Area.
Depending on how many people sign up (right now, it’s you, me, Matt Miller and maybe one other) we will meet at REI as stated on the trip description or people can meet at the take out where we’ll consolidate boats and people and go to the put-in

Hello Paddlers
Just want to clarify something. We recommend no longer then 14′ long boats unless you are really good! 🙂 The first section of the river is small and twisty so the shorter the better.
Eileen
If you sign up for this trip or have any questions, please text me immediately.
Note that because of the storms and the amount of rain, we won’t be making a definitive go/no-go decision until Tuesday or Wednesday after talking to park rangers and outfitters about river conditions.
Thank you
Eileen
636-922-3663Stacy, FYI: there aren’t any close bathrooms at that location but there is 1/2 mile down at the Blanchette Public Access Boat Ramp.
I may be interested in going but will wait until Saturday to commit.
Carolyn,
The details are in my unapproved message in the Club Sanctioned Trip forum.
Please delete all 4 of these Common Adventure trip posts.
Debbie Dyle is going on the Buffalo River trip. I have reached out to Jennifer via email.

Due to the terrible weather forecast for this weekend, it is highly likely that we won’t be paddling. I sent emails to all the people registered on 3/31 and 2 people have already told me they are cancelling. I was hoping to maybe do something on Sunday afternoon but even if the rain stops, it’s going to be COLD. This trip will be rescheduled to a nicer weekend.
