  • Far from the Madding Crowd
    Beat the Crowds! Plan your float trip for a weekday and avoid the FAR FROM THE weekend hordes. MADDING CROWD Escape the summer throngs when you dip your oars into these peaceful Ozark streams. BY CAROLYN TOMLIN HE DAY DAWNED MILD AND SUNNY Ton the Gasconade River in southwest Missouri. As veteran float- ers of this waterway, we anticipated a quiet, peaceful trip. And that’s just what we got. Using a large four-seater Osage canoe made in Lebanon, our group put in at Austin Ford on Wright County’s Route E for this short trip, and took out at Buzzard’s Bluff. Handling our own transporta- tion, we tied the canoe to the top of a farm truck. With two vehicles— one to leave at the pickup point and the other to transport the floaters and canoe—we set off for a day on the river. Packing simple provisions of Spam, saltines, plastic bottles of frozen water, and a few other items, we feasted on a gravel bar with a repast that tasted more like a five-course luncheon than a meal from a can. The bottled water soon warmed—but it was still wet! Life on the river carries its own unique lessons. Here, the senses are on overload in this peaceful environment. There were times when the only sound was of the paddles dipping and lifting in the current. Once, Part of the Ozark we froze in silence as an otter and her young cavorted among the tree National Scenic roots on the nearby bank. Yet these playful little imps showed no fear of Riverways, the Current River is known us.

In the next pages many rivers are described, both in general and by specific sections. You will also find within this section a compilation of many public outfitters, which regularly provide all necessary equipment for a canoe trip. The river sections that are profiled are probably not the exact sections of river that you will float if you rent your canoes and equipment form an outfitter. Each outfitter has “normal” floats that you may choose from, and few, if any, of these floats will match with the sections profiled in On The Loose, or with the sections any other outfitter would float! After spending some time with the River Section of On The Loose, I feel that you will agree there are many more rivers, which can be floated than the ones commonly mentioned (i.e.
