Yes plenty, not sure about that particular stretch.

I'm going to try hard to get us a shuttle from the take out to the launch.

I was thinking we could drop the boats at the launch, I'll have someone watch our stuff, then we all drive to the take out, jump in the shuttle vehicle for the trip to the launch. 

But don't hold me to that exact plan, but I will figure something out for us.

Doable.

Being a swamp paddler I'm not too familiar with the James so I researched (Wikipedia of course).  I wasn't aware there was an Ozark Bass. 

[The river contains bass, catfish, crappie and bluegill.^[9] Four of the five world record Ozark bass were caught on the James River. The Ozark bass (Ambloplites constellatus) is a species of freshwater fish in the sunfish family (Centrarchidae) of order Perciformes. It is native only to the White River, Sac River, James River, and Pomme de Terre River drainages of Missouri and Arkansas. The species is commonly referred to as “goggle-eye”].   Sounds like fun.

Commonly referred to as dinner at my house.

I am open to this also. Great idea and should be lots of fun.

Is there a camp ground close where we could make a weekend of it?
