Floating and Fishing
I'm not sure how, but I think I am in the rear here. I think that's Jim up there on the right fishing. Although the terrain from Pruitt Landing to Carver is not nearly as dramatic, it is still scenic and there are still bluffs. Our goal after driving to Pruitt Landing (with a requisite stop at Harp's grocery in Jasper, of course) to meet our provisioner, Lost River Canoes, was to paddle as far as the confluence of the Buffalo with the Little Buffalo River to camp for the night. There was also quite a number of other river goers preparing to set paddle, but we had a plan to avoid the crowd. We hung back and, while we waited for Ronnie and Jason to stage a vehicle at the other end (Carver), watched all the day trippers paddle on down the river out of sight. Other than a few locals paddling by and one odd couple (he was in a canoe and she was in a kayak tied to the side of his canoe), we didn't see anyone else for the next three days. Oh, and the one Girl Scout troop that caught us and passed us on day two.
