In 1936-, an attorney from Fayetteville named Bernal Seamster and his friends built a two-room log building on a low bluff about a half mile below Hemmed-in-Hollow. The men called it the Clubhouse and used it for a weekend retreat. Sometimes they literally hunted and fished from the cabin's front porch, which hung over the river. After a few years the men quit using the cabin and soon afterward it burned. A chimney and stone piers still mark the site. 120

I love your channel. I grew up camping with my Mom and Dad. Then when I had children my two daughters and I went all the time. My husband and son did not like to go. Lolol. I can’t go any more. Battling lung cancer but doctors says looks like I’m winning. Hope you have a successful trip traveling and camping. God Bless.

@t20sgrunt36 2 роки тому

Actually the Jacks Fork River and Current River in Missouri were the first Rivers to be designated a National Park in '64 (finalized in '71, so just eeking out the Buffalo). Same situation, nearly dammed it. I wanna say the Eleven Point is similar. They're very similar to the Buffalo just smaller in scale and they mainly are gravel and chert riverbeds. I'd highly recommend floating either.. Jacks Fork has been a favorite of mine and I've been going over 40 years. Waking up in the Ozarks, with a crystal clear stream, rolling forested hills, the fog.... There is noting like it. Either way- awesome video, gorgeous river, great content, keep up the good work. Love your videos!

@t20sgrunt36 2 роки тому

@@jfc1432 I did some searches and see ‘71 for current & jacks fork, Buffalo is ‘72. Definitely check it out, it’s amazing. The water is so clear. Bring masks and snorkels. For a family, I like the Alley Springs camp ground on the Jacks Fork. It is very well maintained, free hot showers, park ranger activities for kids, and an amazing little swimming hole with a bluff. Edit- found what you meant with “river” vs “river system” . Seems a bit arbitrary since the system is focused on the rivers but I see what you’re saying

@t20sgrunt36 2 роки тому

@@jfc1432 yeah, curious to know for sure. If you go, avoid late July and early august. Sometimes the moss can get annoying above Alley Springs. Be sure to check out alley springs, Blue Springs (on the Current), Rocky Falls, Echo Bluff, the wild horses (try Shawnee area right before dusk). And seriously bring mask and snorkels, half of the amazing sights are under water. Enjoy you’re trip!

Jimmy and I made some boat tours.Simply unique! Greetings from Germany. I traveled several States in the US, Arkansas would be the one. t him

@AchimDaffin Рік тому

We used to do the Buffalo way back in the 80's ... just below Steel Creek... David and his dog was our shuttle, not sure if he's still runnin' that section. I loved the sign on the way to the launch site, a pretty steep down grade... the sign said, "No trailers or busses." You guessed it, we were in a bus, with a trailer full of canoes in tow. But he did let the dog out at the top, so if anything went wrong, the dog would make it. :)
