I feel the same about the Current River every time we run it. We're glad you enjoyed it!

It should be amazing in the fall. I would recommend allowing some time for mileage, depending on how far you plan to paddle in a day. The Powell is a bit slower than many of the rivers we paddle, with several still areas. We had a moving average of between 2.5 & 3 mph. Campsites are there, but takes some work to spot. I recommend contacting Riverside Rentals. They were very helpful in planning the trip, as well as distances.

It certainly surprised us. We were fortunate. Had a gut feeling we should pull the boats up the bank and into the campsite. Definitely a good decision.

Thank you!!! That river is amazing. Once we obtain certain permits, we plan to go back for the remaining mileage. Again, thank you for your kind words!!

Lol, will do!

@@NoposhChigger myth. There’s some good ones, but no Volkswagens. lol 😆

@@mevrammcoyoteV8f150 Agreed, but some Missouri rivers are incredibly unique for sure. 👍

Lol. That is a common reaction for sure! We are planning another dive in that area when visibility is far better. We've had a great deal of requests to do so. Thanks for watching!

Interesting observation! We actually checked that time codec and can see your interpretation.

@@user-nb9wc8hk9w Interesting. Thanks for sharing that!

@@user-nb9wc8hk9w Thank you! We’ve come to realize rivers such as this one are definitely unique in their quality.

Doable yes. In past experience anything above 2 is decent. However, you may want to consider starting below the Prongs. Contact Anita at Two Rivers Canoe Rental. She and her team can give you some outstanding advice on level recommendations. Thanks for watching!

@@AVAJourneys Thanks!!!!

@@joeward6745 that river definitely surprised us. There were several areas that reminded us of some of the rivers we’ve run out west. Eventually, we plan to return for a longer stretch. Thanks for watching!!

@@joshuamcconkeyfishing yes sir! I remember! Hope you’re doing well!

@@sherrydaniels5060 Thank you Sherry!!!

We appreciate you watching!

@@tommycockrum5865 Glad you enjoyed it! It’s a beautiful river!

@@LWTHESAINT Interesting! We’ll have to note that on our next visit.

@@aprilbeaver3471 Thank you! That river is certainly unique!

@@aprilbeaver3471 Thank you!!

@@JoshFlorii Absolutely!!

Thank you so very much!!!!

It’s beautiful, all the way down to Doniphan!

Thank you!!

Similar memories here on the Current! There’s just something about Missouri rivers.

We are absolutely pleased that you enjoyed it!!

You definitely should!

You definitely need to! Tell you what, contact Anita at Two Rivers Canoe Rental. She and her crew are awesome and will provide all the information you need. They offer personal kayak transport, as well as rentals if you do not have your own. Depending on water levels, the Prongs are an ideal place to put in and are near the headwaters of the JF. Anita can assist you in planning your trip, depending on your desired distance and intentions. Thanks for watching!!

@@AVAJourneys Thank you very much !

Thank you! We are starting a series soon that places us in some precarious environments. Should be interesting for sure! Thank you for your kind words!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

You could look at putting in or pulling out around Bailey Bridge/Bill Mauk/Cassi Creek area. You may need to ask for permission to park nearby, depending on intent. We haven’t been over there in a bit, so not positive of parking availability. But it could serve as good drop-off or pickup area. Don’t forget your life jackets! 😎

Thanks for quick reply!

@@johnnyb395 If we’re already on working, not too hard to jump over and reply. Enjoy!

Great question! There are legal mandates, which stipulate that the operating base must not be located within park-restricted areas. This implies that operations must be conducted within a non-restricted (governed by the FAA) airspace, while the park service has complete dominion over the geographical area. One of the challenges is maintaining line of sight with the aircraft, as per Part 107 requirements, if the base of operations is outside the contiguous zone of the park. While some of our equipment has the required range capability, a COA from the FAA is necessary to operate out of line of sight, and the aircraft must be rated for that ability. Alternatively, the best course of action is to apply for a special use permit. Once obtained, this permit must be presented to officials or law enforcement upon request and must be kept with the Pilot in Command throughout the operation. We have certainly learned from past mistakes made some years ago, and now operate within Part 107 tolerances and other parameters, including liability considerations, as we are currently operating commercially. We have a few river projects planned in the future. However, we await the appropriate documentation and permissions before undertaking projects in certain river areas due to the lack of opportunities to operate outside protected areas to obtain the required shots. RUclips projects are but a small portion of our work, but do require a level of diligence for sure. We know this is a lot of information, but hope it helps a bit. If you’d like, we do have the contact information to apply for a special use permit within the Ozark Scenic Riverways. Thanks for watching!

@@AVAJourneys Thanks for the informative reply. I take, and sell, lots of still photos of the Buffalo area. In this endeavor I'm always searching for new images and the drone seemed to answer that question. I sincerely doubt that any Park Ranger has any knowledge of the regulations, so I suppose I'll just take my chances.

@@edalexander1432 I completely understand your perspective. Our 107 drone license is an extension of my actual pilots license. For that reason, and a few ethical circumstances, we make every effort to remain in compliance. However, again, from a creator’s paradigm I understand your desire to obtain those shots. Just be cautious. Fines can be steep believe me.

Thank you, sir! The lower section was surprisingly incredible! We said hello to the Landing owners from the RK crew incidentally!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! He definitely has some incredible folklore based stories for sure!

You are correct. A special use permit is required. Additionally, a part 107 certificate must be held by the PIC when operated for commercial use. We have a future river project coming up, but will be waiting until permit application and approval. Thank you for your concern.

@@AVAJourneys Good on you for doing it right. Born and raised in the Ozarks and trying to keep its roots intact.

I bet you're fun at parties

@@76erGrant I bet you’re a prick at parties

Late spring. It's always a bit of a risk that time of year, depending on the weather. We've certainly been caught in more than one flood, unfortunately. Nevertheless, we made excellent time! Thanks for watching.

That’s awesome and exactly the feeling we want to bring to folks! We are so pleased you enjoyed it!!!!

Thank you so much. We definitely plan on returning for the remaining miles, but are waiting to obtain certain permits. Thanks for watching!

As always, it’s great to hear from you! You really should pay any of these rivers a visit sooner than later! Take care Sherry!!

Thank you!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! I believe you’ll enjoy the next one. Similar production style.

Enjoy it?

@@AVAJourneys I always do.

Awesome! I lived in Salem for a while as a child. Incredible area.

Not as of yet, but it is on our list to dive.
