    I hope that River stays like that for you I'm from Florida and the rivers around me are inundated with tourists and new people that have moved here they've ruined everything

      The locals here hate tourists and run them off every chance they get. It's bittersweet

    Copperheads are such beautiful and rather docile animals when not provoked. What an awesome encounter!

    The copperheads I’ve run into have been territorial and aggressive. And let’s not forget poisonous lol

    I remember seeing that cave in the 90s when we all went floating on a tube.

      I always try to imagine what it would be like if you were the first person to discover something like this. I bet even in the 90s it looked a bit different

    Great vid, beautiful scenery. We're doing this float in a little less than a month, can't wait, I hear great things about it. Was Cave Spring easy to miss? I've heard people have missed it. People have been talking about a tree or log the last 30-40 minutes of the float that has been flipping people occasionally. I wonder if that's the spot where you said a guy bent his canoe up.

      Thanks for watching! I don't think you can miss it. its a huge opening on the left side of the river. The cave sets back a little bit so you dont see it until you are 100 yards upstream from it. even if you happen to paddle past it.. it wouldnt be hard to back track. the current right there isnt super strong.

    That was a great video, I just moved to southern mo, where are the entrance and exit points on this?

      Thank you for watching! The put-in is called Akers Ferry and the take-out is called Pulltite. Beautiful stretch of river. If your looking for a river outfitter Akers Ferry Canoe Rental has been decent.

    What kind of watch are you using to track distance ?

    • @colby_rogers
      @colby_rogers  11 месяцев назад

      Garmin Instinct 2. I also use the 64sx. The instinct is great. I have ran it against the Fenix 7 a handful of times. For the cost of the instinct it's well worth it
