Current River Part 1 

Between Pulltite and Round Spring you passed by a set of buildings on the east side of the river which is now the Current River State Park. Originally this was called The Alton Club and was a corporate retreat for the Alton Box Board Company and was used for entertaining customers and for corporate getaways. My grandfather was the president of the Alton Box Board Co. and acquired the land in the 1930's and developed the area in the 1940's. I used to love every opportunity to go down there. The 1960's was a time before floating on the Current River became popular; and Missouri Route 19 was still a gravel road.

Right on!! Loved it Dan! Thanks! Dang ole dog!😂

Those pups 🐶 are always on the lookout for some tasty snacks 😂 Beautiful trip Dan! I think this is going on the to-do list ☑️

Good weather, good friends, beautiful water, you lucky dog

Eight of us our doing this same float leaving Saturday! Can't wait, thanks for the preview.

Beautiful water, awesome trip so far Dan. Looking forward to the next one!

It's nice to see someone sitting in the back of the canoe with the weight up front. That's the same way I role. Greetings from Illinois.

That naughty puppy- stealing your peanut butter and crackers 😂 Loved the cave! Great editing! 👍👍

Such a unique way to visit a new place. Just beautiful. I got some serious catching up to do on Southern Paddler. I see a binging weekend in my future.

Beautiful river. Thanks for sharing Dan.

Awesome video of a great trip. Thanks for sharing Dan !

What a pretty river and great start to the trip. Looking forward to seeing the rest. Have a blessed weekend.

Wow... Nice Dan! Can't wait to get back there.

That Mad River Canoe looks like an early one

Awesome job, Dan! The Current River looks like a great river! Good job documenting...and good jib not strangling that dog! LOL! Wes's Yukon is looking sharp! I am hoping to get mine out for at least a few short paddles this week, after work. This will be the first chance that I have had, at all, to get it out of the shop! SMH!

Love this river. Until you get to Van Buren anyway lol. It turned into spring break resort town last time I was there about 10 years ago.

Shannon County Mo. is a beautiful place. I will be on the current the 1st week of August

Y’all should come back to the ONSR and do gravel bar primitive camping along the river. That’s my favorite thing about the Current and the Jacks Fork.

Loved the video. I did the Buffalo this spring and just got back from BWCA. I'm planning on doing the current this fall. I'm curious what camera pole are you using at the back of your canoe?

Hey Dan, have been watching your videos and enjoyed them. My wife and I also enjoy paddling and camping. In pasted years I backpacker so going light is nothing new. We've paddled the Buffalo (Tn) and did a couple overnighter on the Duck (Tn). We're thinking of doing a multi night trip but are reluctant to do on our. Was wondering if you ever allowed outsiders to tag alone on your trips?

It's accommodation for the night not accomodations. Accommodations are made in the work place to accommodate someone or something. Other than that annoying, common error, not a bad video.
