==INTRO==
Buffalo National River has been on TOP of my bucket list for a while, and I'm sure it is the same for a lot of our members on here as well. This is America's First National River. Its beauty and pristineness make it really popular.

==WHEN==
+ Leave Friday morning, arrive Friday noon, rent canoe and paddle along the river.
+ We will camp along the shore at night.
+ 3 days paddling, 2 nights camping.
+ Head home Sunday afternoon.

==RESERVATIONS==
+ Have your own boat? You're good to go.
+ If not, reserve your canoes online to make sure you will get one https://www.buffaloriver.com/pages/plan-your-visit/2019-buffalo-national-river-adventure-guide/

==BRING==
+ This is a 3 DAYS trip so bring enough to last 3 days!
+ While sharing is encouraged, you are only required to bring what you need for yourself (camping equip., IE: chair, food, camp stove, tent, etc) as others may not bring excess provisions. If you would like to bring community foods for everyone, this is quite welcome.
+ Dry bag is recommended to keep your gear dry.
+ The river is HAMMOCK friendly. There's also campsite so tent will work too.
+ Pretty much camping stuff that you normally need.

==WHERE==
+ First, we will meetup somewhere in Dallas as a group before heading out so everyone can have a chance to introduce each other and figure out carpool situation (carpooling is highly encouraged because of environment, gas, road trip shenanigans...)
+ When we get there, we will meet up again at one of the offices at the park so we can start paddling in TOGETHER.
