Buffalo River Camping-Day Three

All I can say is "Thank God for ear plugs!!" I slept like a baby. I think we stayed up til 2 or 3 playing cards. The store didn't have any regular ear plugs, so I just got the ear plugs for kid's, to keep water out of their ears. I was desperate, and they worked like a charm. Needless to say I think I rolled out of my tent around 10 am that morning.

The river was pretty active, there was a steady stream of canoe-ers that day. Carson and I got some fishing in later that afternoon. I'm thinking he's going to be right by my side whenever I go hunting and fishing, and I couldn't be more happy about that. I can't wait to show him the outdoors, and experience them with him.

Then we got our grill on!!! Huge Ribeye steaks and fried potatoes for dinner!! Then fixed smores for dessert! Got my tail whomped at cards, then decided to turn in for the night, since we'd be packing up in the morning.

We had a great trip, and great friends with us, can't ask much more than that!!

Buffalo River Camping-Day One

Just got back from 3 days of camping at Tyler Bend on the Buffalo River. My 3-year old son had a blast!! So far I think he enjoys the outdoors as much as I do. It was hot, but we stayed at the river almost everyday..swam,fish, etc. First night, was rough. I went up Thursday afternoon, set up camp, then had to drive back an hour and a half for a softball game. My wife and her friend went up Thursday when they got off work. My buddy and I drove up after our softball game. We saw three snakes on the highway on the way up there. I got out and took a pic of this rattlesnake, because my buddy was too scared to get out and take the pic. I think it was a timber rattler..pretty young one. Probably only had around 5 or 6 rattles



I just couldn't make myself runover it either...I guess I'm getting soft. We finally made it to camp around midnight that night. Finally went to bed around 2 am, then listened to coons fight over the food that someone left out, needless to say, I got about an hour sleep....day two coming soon
