My 6 man team is now 3 doctors 2 lawyers and 1 school teacher/housewife.  We got the work done at school first.  Sure loved those rivers in the off peak times though... I don't know where the fall leaves could be better than on an Ozarks river.

Duk, I think my GPA would have suffered terribly with all that great canoeing close at hand. I look forward to making a return trip sometime soon.

I've done the Jack's Fork, North Fork, Current, Gasconade, 11 point, Big Piney, and Shoal Creek.  Probably some others too... I went to college at Drury University in Springfield, MO.  We'd spend Spring and/or Fall break on the river.  Beautiful country, particularly in the fall.

Many years ago I canoed the Jack's Fork of the Little Current River in southeastern Missouri. It was a beautiful spring fed river with a nice steady crrent to move you along. No real rapids to worry about but you had to lookout for dead fall tangles in the corners. Every so often another huge sping flowed into the main river. Spent three casual days runnign this river nad loved every minute of it. Aslo, spent several days canoeing another river, whose name escapes meat present, in the same general area. Has anyone else here canoed in the Mark Twain National Forest in the Ozarks? If not, definitely worth a trip sometime!
