    Copperheads are such beautiful and rather docile animals when not provoked. What an awesome encounter!

      Copperheads are a protected species. It's illegal to kill one unless it's an immediate threat.

    There are some weird creatures living in the outflow of those cold water springs.

      It took millions of years to carve that cave. It's not going to change much in a few decades unless it collapses on itself.

      @@jhandle4196 I was just referring to the amount of traffic/people visiting. With the economy being so terrible, more and more people are finding cheaper hobbies, aka kayaking, hiking, camping. I have personally watched Arkansas blow up over the last few years. It didn't used to be over crowed

    Great vid, beautiful scenery. We're doing this float in a little less than a month, can't wait, I hear great things about it. Was Cave Spring easy to miss? I've heard people have missed it. People have been talking about a tree or log the last 30-40 minutes of the float that has been flipping people occasionally. I wonder if that's the spot where you said a guy bent his canoe up.

    • @colby_rogers
      @colby_rogers  Рік тому +1

      Thanks for watching! I don't think you can miss it. its a huge opening on the left side of the river. The cave sets back a little bit so you dont see it until you are 100 yards upstream from it. even if you happen to paddle past it.. it wouldnt be hard to back track. the current right there isnt super strong.

      Garmin Instinct 2. I also use the 64sx. The instinct is great. I have ran it against the Fenix 7 a handful of times. For the cost of the instinct it's well worth it
