As we neared the end of the hike we were
pretty hot and tired and sick of carrying all our gear. We could
hear the vehicles as we got closer and closer to Ponca and as soon as
the trail headed across the river for the last time we knew we were at
the end. Mel, noting the perfect swimming hole, dropped her pack
and plunged head first into the water, boots and all! Within
seconds we all joined her and relaxed in the cool waters of the
Buffalo, celebrating a successful trip. It was a perfect end to
a great adventure. The water
level had been great--not too much to make crossing troublesome, yet
running enough to get clean water to filter and provide a few
fantastic swimming holes just like this one! |
