An unforgettable float to kick off a tradition

Mother's Day Float
Buffalo River, Jasper, AR
My mother had never been on a float to the Buffalo and given how long she has lived here, that is criminal. We picked mothers day weekend and it could not have been more perfect.
Water level and temperature combined for probably the best floating conditions I've ever experienced. Spoiling for those who haven't done it much!
Canoe pairings:
- Mom / Tonya - Noobs that could bounce off anything and stay upright
- Kristina / Amber - Professionals
- Kendra / Bradley - They knew enough to get by, maybe 1 spill
- Dad / Kyle - Good lord. Put the two biggest boys on a canoe and it was like trying to balance an ice skate on a plate. We are not inexperienced, but we are too big to be in the same boat. We flipped about 5 times. The last one was a Captain Morgan ship flip because I couldn't resist pissing off my already pissed-off dad just a little bit more.
Now we try to do a float every mother's day!
Overall, couldn't ask for a better float.
