    I am sure she wasn’t the only one.
    My wife did cry while you were having lunch with grandma. A happy cry.
    We are older now and it reminded her of times with her nana.
    Thank you

    You’re a good Granddaughter for including your Grandma on one of your adventures! I am 63 and wish I even knew my Grandkids, but that is a long story. I tried tent camping with my girlfriend, but both times turned into a nightmare and I swore I’d rent a cabin, but on a fixed income that can be a challenge. I am so glad you did this video, because you listed the price and showed what is included. Do they allow pets? We have a 14 year old Scottish Terrier mix who is struggling a bit these days, so she has to be by our side! Thank you. My girlfriend and I follow your videos wishing her daughter would have turned out just like you did! So, we can only adopt you through You Tube, okay!😂 We live on the Air Base in Jacksonville!😊

    Great video! Tip for river fishing, use a small (like 1/32) jighead and a white curly tail grub. It never fails me and since it is a single hook it’s a lot easier to unhook the fish.

    Buffalo point is where we would go when I was a kid. At one point we were homeless and the kind people at White Buffalo Resort let us stay there for a couple months in tents during the off season. I always planned on doing one last week long canoe trip down the Buffalo (crazy smallmouth bass fishing on the Buffalo). I never took the time off work and now I am 50 and disabled and no longer able to paddle down the river. I did get to take my Mom on a 2 week vacation at White Buffalo Resort right before I lost her. If my health was better I would live there now. I love to see others enjoying it.

    Kelly, started watchin while you were in Florida the first time, that’s my stomping grounds. Definitely beautiful areas in your home state, but I like your adventures in Florida because you didn’t know what to really expect. You visited many areas there that I’ve been goin to before they were popular. Keep it comin, like your vids to see what’s next

    You captured the beauty of the Buffalo River and the cultural essence of outdoor fun in Arkansas with this video and the preceding float video with your friends. Fun with friends and family on the river, in a cabin, or on a gravel bar, your videos show what it is like to live and play in the Ozarks - the fun, friendship, love, adventure, and natural beauty - you got it all. Excellent videography!

    You should try that and learn the basics for future success when you feel like fishin.

Ya can't beat the taste of a rare steak from the grill. Looking forward to following you on future long ass hike. Take it easy and take care of yourself.
