Buffalo River, Ponca to Kyles Landing (March 2008)

 
After dumping 2 miles into an 11 mile float we were wet and cold for the next several miles and were glad to see our planned lunch spot come around the bend.

We pull out on river right in a pool and headed up on the exposed bedrock of Horseshoe Bend to each lunch and hopefully soak up some sun to warm us.

There were these idiot kids willingly jumping into that cold water from the cliff there.  They'd then swim right back up to the rock, climb up and do it again.  That is until one of them dislocated his shoulder.  That could be the most painful thing I've watched.  Because he struggled to shore obviously in pain and had a friend jerk it back into socket.  He seemed like it didn't hurt then but I'm sure it was just the cold!
