Somewhere in Southwest Missouri

You know I could tell you exactly where we were, but trust me, you don't want to go there. When I talked to @Chief Grey Bear about the location, I told him I really didn't care where we went. But since my knee is all f'd up I didn't want to go four wheel drive floating. Britt knows what that means and assured me that it wouldn't be an issue. He lied.

What happened on that little log?

Eew!   I don't like the looks of that last pic!  😳

Glad it was shallow enough to get your hand on the bottom.

And um, that first picture.  You're speeding.  Slow it down, bra.

Stupidity, just stupidity.

We were weaving in and out through this jungle float Britt chose and at that small log there was really no where else to go. I might have been able to squeeze through in front of it but I doubt it. I could have set up against that log all day. It's when I decided to step out that everything went wrong. It was much deeper that I thought and I rolled it just a little too far. I got tossed but landed perfectly and was never in any real danger. Freaked out a bit because I have a lot of camera gear up under there but we were able to retrieve all of it. The only thing I lost was a strap and a few drinks.

I know exactly where you were.  There can be a log jam or two in the area.

Sometimes the simplest looking places can get you.  I got dumped by the wind in a riffle on the North Fork once.   Not an obstruction anywhere, just fast current in one direction, big wind in the other direction and I got sideways to both.  Lost a brand new St Croix rod and Pfleuger President reel in that little incident.  It was cool enough I was glad to have dry clothes with me.

Glad you didn't lose anything valuable.

Did you like the float. Buzz and I went upstream from there a couple years back and I wasn't that impressed with that section. At least that was me.

The fishing was pretty good. The dragging over, under, and around was annoying. That section needs some chainsaw work, maybe dynamite in some spots.

Sorry Officer.

How is Chief doing?  Miss that guy on here.
