    My wife did cry while you were having lunch with grandma. A happy cry.
    We are older now and it reminded her of times with her nana.
    Thank you

    Buffalo point is where we would go when I was a kid. At one point we were homeless and the kind people at White Buffalo Resort let us stay there for a couple months in tents during the off season. I always planned on doing one last week long canoe trip down the Buffalo (crazy smallmouth bass fishing on the Buffalo). I never took the time off work and now I am 50 and disabled and no longer able to paddle down the river. I did get to take my Mom on a 2 week vacation at White Buffalo Resort right before I lost her. If my health was better I would live there now. I love to see others enjoying it.

    You captured the beauty of the Buffalo River and the cultural essence of outdoor fun in Arkansas with this video and the preceding float video with your friends. Fun with friends and family on the river, in a cabin, or on a gravel bar, your videos show what it is like to live and play in the Ozarks - the fun, friendship, love, adventure, and natural beauty - you got it all. Excellent videography!

    Camped at Spring Creek a while back during the week. Was very nice.
    I believe I saw a guide service for Smallmouth Bass in that area.
    You should try that and learn the basics for future success when you feel like fishin.

Ya can't beat the taste of a rare steak from the grill. Looking forward to following you on future long ass hike. Take it easy and take care of yourself.
