Current
River Adventure: Day Four
Two Rivers
to Roberts Field: (12 miles)
This was to
be our last day on the Current River. We had already lost Tina as she had to be
back at work (Bummer), and Pam, Richard,
Kerrie, and Darcy were leaving us tomorrow. Due to extremely negative feelings
about Jerk Tail Landing we opted to skip that section and do Two Rivers to
Roberts Field instead. Little did we know that the shuttle involved three stream
crossings.
What can I
say? Even more gorgeous bluffs and an opportunity to visit Blue Spring, one of
the largest in MO. This spring is remarkable for its color which is
indescribable and difficult to photograph. It is a dense turquoise that shades
to almost violet.
It was a
live in the moment kind of day and nobody was in a hurry. Everybody was an
expert Current River paddler by now and ready to relax and literally “go with
the flow”.
Everybody cleaned up real nice for our last evening together and we celebrated by going to the Echo Bluff Lodge for dinner. We were served on their elegant outdoor patio where we nearly froze to death. Fortunately the spirits flowed freely and we got warmth from the stone wall. The food was outstanding too.
