[@JayDearman]

In 1936-, an attorney from Fayetteville named Bernal Seamster and his friends built a two-room log building on a low bluff about a half mile below Hemmed-in-Hollow. The men called it the Clubhouse and used it for a weekend retreat. Sometimes they literally hunted and fished from the cabin's front porch, which hung over the river. After a few years the men quit using the cabin and soon afterward it burned. A chimney and stone piers still mark the site. 120

I love your channel. I grew up camping with my Mom and Dad. Then when I had children my two daughters and I went all the time. My husband and son did not like to go. Lolol. I can’t go any more. Battling lung cancer but doctors says looks like I’m winning. Hope you have a successful trip traveling and camping. God Bless.

[@steveforsythe9264]

Praying you get better Godspeed!

[@CodyandKellie]

Praying for a speedy recovery. God bless

[@trydl88621]

Thank you.

[@mko625999]

Prayers for God’s healing power 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

[@venetia98]

You got this Trish 💪🏾🌹

[@GatewoodBrown]

Every single video I post people comment telling me to kayak the Buffalo River. Your video right here just convinced me to plan a trip. Incredible! Thank you for taking us along on your adventure.

[@CodyandKellie]

Dude we would love to float with you if your ever interested! We have watched a ton of your videos of rivers in Texas. If you ever want to meet up hit us up at [e-mail]

[@GatewoodBrown]

@@CodyandKellie that’s so awesome to hear! I’ve enjoyed following along on yalls adventures as well. Congrats on the nomadic adventure! You guys will crush it. I followed on Instagram and will get in touch whenever your trip out west ends.

[@robertashley192]

We have kayak camped a lot of rivers but the upper Buffalo tops them all.

[@DivineCruelty666]

Gatewood I was about to send you this video on your ig 😆 I'm gonna kayak this river for the first time in a few weeks

[@GatewoodBrown]

@@DivineCruelty666 have a blast! You’ll probably get the whole river to yourself this time of year

[@CabinFever1]

Got that easy feel'en.....looks like a place I can take my dog with me.

[@suzielee6641]

We actually passed you guys in the gravel road at Ozark campground last Tuesday. I got so excited and kept telling my husband “that’s the you tube people I was telling you about 😂. We love the Buffalo and stop anytime our travels bring us close. Much love from Mississippi

[@VedderState]

There is another local outfitter in Ponca that I suggest using....Lost Valley Canoe and Lodging. They are the BEST!!!!

[@clintmanuel6058]

Thanks for that info. I'm planning a first Arkansas visit from northeast Texas, to kayak, hike and/or camp somewhere in those Ozarks.

[@AchimDaffin]

We used to do the Buffalo way back in the 80's ... just below Steel Creek... David and his dog was our shuttle, not sure if he's still runnin' that section. I loved the sign on the way to the launch site, a pretty steep down grade... the sign said, "No trailers or busses." You guessed it, we were in a bus, with a trailer full of canoes in tow. But he did let the dog out at the top, so if anything went wrong, the dog would make it. :)

[@mjlewis7100]

Takes me back to my twenties when my husband and I floated the Eleven Point, Jack's Fork and the White River in a little raft. That was the beginning of my love for camping.

[@ashleyphillips9697]

I floated this river when I was a teenager. That was over 30 years ago and I hope to do it again someday. Until then, thanks so much for allowing me to live vicariously through you.

[@HighSpeedNoDrag]

Canoed this river with my father and the Ozark Trail Association back in 2009. Great Experience and thanks Dad!

[@WilliamFontaineJr]

Paddled it my first time in 1975. Knew and was friends with a few who fought to save it. They were visionaries of their day.

[@FrankGreenway]

In South Georgia those sandbars would have alligators. I love that River, it looks like a beautiful place.

[@commonsense246]

There are some gorgeous stops along the River with short hikes up to falls....spectaculor

[@kristasanford1803]

Floated up from Ponca to hembed in hallow great trip

[@matthewduggan9391]

I in joyed. It brought back memories from when I was a kid. Yes I live in Texas. But my parents & I floated down the Buffalo River. I don't remember where we put in. But I do remember taking out at the White River. I also remember the river being way way way out of it's banks. We spent a week floating down the Buffalo River.

[@rosemiller646]

You guys really know how to showcase the best of Arkansas! This amazing area is like a paradise with so many hidden gems. Thanks for letting us experience it with your excellent filming, editing, music choices, etc. Now, in addition to the best of Arkansas, you guys will be bringing us the best of wherever else you roam. Best wishes; you got this!

[@daleschleicher7794]

[@dirwinbower4374]

That's a beautiful place maybe some day I will get there

[@revrayblue]

Thanks for the video! Took me back to Boy Scout trips we did in the 90’s. I’ve been trying to plan a trip to get back for years. This is motivation!

[@hennihabeck8502]

Beautiful Buffalo River, more precious than silver and Gold, Arkansas gift to the Nation, America s gift to the world....Jimmy Driftwood!

[@hennihabeck8502]

I Hope that some younger people still remember the one and only Jimmy Driftwood! He played an important Role making the Buffalo River Region a National Forest, some say that without him there would be none.I was invited by Cleda and Jimmy Driftwood twice and spent months with them. Jimmy and I made some boat tours.Simply unique! Greetings from Germany. I traveled several States in the US, Arkansas would be the one. t him

[@brucestephenson5962]

I love that type of filter. I use it while bike packing and hiking.

[@jazzer82]

I love Buffalo River! Beautiful place. Clean, clear, and cold water.

[@wolfbisbing486]

It sure does look like a giant slide lol That spot was exceptional. Then again that whole river is gorgeous scenery. Very peaceful!!!!!!

Can't wait to follow the adventure out west! We just sold our home and moved into a town house so we would less base camp responsibility and can start disperse camping more!! We are gearing up using part of our proceeds from our sale. Thanks for the inspiration!!

[@davespangenburg8015]

[@guanacocruz765]

That's on my bucket list to go to this river ☺️ sometime this summer

[@keyllygastelum3327]

Beautiful video.

[@kalanhitchens8782]

I'm blessed to live here. I go every weekend it's warm to fish. The same exact section of river lol. My house is 5 minutesaway just up the mountain. I was blessed to find this place a few years ago, it's a hidden Secret. If you guys come back check out Whitaker point, and Lost Valley which is right beside where this was. Lost Valley has an underground waterfall inside of a cave that you have to get on your hands and knees for about 30 ft before it opens up with an amazing waterfall room. It's awesome up here

[@runningbear721]

Beautiful scenery and great video editing. My wife and I kayak camp around central Florida. The terrain where ya'll are at is so different and gorgeous.

[@tonyheimkes]

Another great video! I just returned from my week long kayaking trip in Northern MN and brought a bunch of Trailtopia as well. Great stuff and thanks for plugging a MN company!

[@kit3182]

Y’all just get better and better!! Go Kelly!!!! She’s goes with the flow until we to deep in the woods!! Snakes! I felt her pain! The underwater video was outstanding!!!! Seeing you guys not living by time must feel so free! Love y’all’s adventurous souls✨✨
