| Camping at Kyle's Landing |
Blanca loves camping and hiking, but does not appreciate swimming. But we dragged her canoeing anyway!
The water level was low, so we had to drag the canoe a lot and Blanca tried to bolt out of the boat every chance she got. Fortunately her life jacket has a handle on it so I forced her to stay in. A couple times I let her jump out when we grounded, but she would take off up the river bank and we had a hard time convincing her to come back. Once, we let her jump out once while we stayed in and the water was up to her chin. She did not like it very much. We kept floating down the river. Ryan thought she would follow us, but apparently the water was a little too deep for her liking and she refused to budge. Ryan had to get out and wade back to her. She did not jump out again after that!
She loved when we stopped and she could run around on the river bank and get horribly sandy and muddy! She even waded out into the river, which is a very big step for her considering her aversion to water!
We were all pretty exhausted after our day in the sun.
The Buffalo River is a beautiful area! We had a great time!!!
Hard to believe that we've been in Fayetteville for almost four years and in four days, we'll be headed back to Austin, TX with the moving truck! Hopefully we'll have more fun trips involving rivers and our poor dog this summer! Stay tuned for our Austin adventures!
