In September we joined the Rose family again, this time for a camp along the banks of the Buffalo River in Island Park, and a float from the headwaters the following morning.

We enjoyed a classic "tinfoil dinner".

Eleanor and I hammocked that night without any rain to wake us, and enjoyed a hot cereal breakfast before heading upriver to begin our float.

The upper stretches of the river were like an Olympic slalom course, and the widened to a beautiful float before turning into a quarter mile slog through shallow water.

Downriver we got back on course and pulled out back at our campsite.
