Ponca to Kyles!! 6-8" gap at Ponca LWB.
EPIC weekend! Our first Buffalo trip. It was SO beautiful and way more challenging than we we're expecting. I can't wait to go back.
We camped out of kayaks and ran the rapids with all of our gear! Definitely needed a skirt. the waves kept my bilge pump busy. No carnage though.
Am i crazy for saying that this run at 4' is WAY more challenging than Byrds to Turner @ 3'????
What do you think?

Is the water level not labeled clearly enough on the poll?

Sorry. Several of the views were mine, but I'm not qualified to comment. Any way, it's your fault there have been so many views. You're the one who included those awesome pics that make me wish I were there right now. 
You come too.

thanks! I can't WAIT to get back out on the water.
I'm playing a show at Rogue on Dickson this Saturday.. So it's looking like a Sunday float (if at all) this week.

I'm surprised that Byrds to Turner has it, considering the 1ft difference in water level. We were not expecting the Buff to be so "rough" @ 3.8' (LOVED it!!!) We've run Byrds to Turner @ 2.3, 2.5 and 2.8. Is there a BIG difference between 2.8 & 3' on that run? We want to run above Byrds, but we will probably try it at a relatively low level on our first run. We are running rec boats after all.
I can't wait to get a ww boat!

My thoughts are the Mulberry is at it's best at 3' up. It gets a little bit more pushy. I also like Ponca to Kyles too. I think it's all on the person running it though. Ponca to Kyles is very beautiful float and would be my perferred run.
