Used to be nice years back. but it's nothing but throngs of college students pitching beer cans and cigarette butts in the river. there's another one down there that's better but i can't remember the name and am not in the area anymore so haven't been in years.

Hmmmm... me and a friend went and kayaked on the Jack's from Alley Springs to Two Rivers this past Saturday.

We did start out surrounded by the obligatory beer-toting college kids, but after we blasted past them (and helped two of them with thier tipped water-and-river rock filled canoe--first time I've ever seen that much rock in a canoe, btw), it wasn't anywhere near as busy as we thought it would be. Aside from the campgrounds around Eminence that is. It was a really nice float.

Of course, part of that might also be that we were on the river at 8:30 am...

(And for the record: even with the increase of idiots on the Current and Jack's Fork, I'll still take them over that abomination of a canoe trip called the Niangua any day.)
