If Kayaking or padding ALONE -
A NOTE ON WHO SHOULD NOT PARTICIPATE IN THIS RIVER PADDLE,
1) This event is not for beginners, beginners should learn on a lake where there is no current, waves or distance required to paddle.
2) Those that have physical issues like back problems (10 miles is a long distance),
3) Those that lack the river paddling skills to deal with currents and/or waves required on a river paddle.
4) And those that do not have the strength to paddle 10 miles. This is a long distance.
AGAIN If paddling ALONE, AND FALL IN THESE CATEGORIES I do not recommend going on this trip. You are likely to put yourself and maybe othera in jeopardy if you do.

For those that sign up early - Please answer the question that you are assuming all responsibility. if going on this trip. If you can not answer the question, Put your acknowledgment in the comments

Also please do not take your dog on this trip, unless you have done this before, with your dog ON A RIVER. It is not the same as being on a lake!

We will meet at Buffalo River Canoes at 10:00 AM, 5 miles from Jasper on Highway 74 West, where we will each complete a National Park Service rental agreement and acknowledgement of risk.
*** We will carpool from there to the launch site. There we will be issued our boat(s), paddles, PFDs, and mesh trash bags.

We will float Ponca to Kyles Landing (10.7 miles). It should take around 4-6 hours. If the river conditions are too low, we will put in at Steel Creek to Kyle's Landing (8 miles).
