![]() We asked him to please not throw down the f bomb as much and show some respect for the children. Our son who was little confused walk away and we decided to join their conversation. The kids were playing kick ball in the grassy field and we were fixing food and talking about our canoe trip when.my wife heard our neighbor talking to our son about the f'n green kick ball and f this and f that. We got back to our camp and started a fire for dinner. Lunch, fishing swimming and the occasional rescue of inexperienced canoes being swamped by what should of been a easy log to paddle around. They were busy splashing each other, chasing minnows and swimming in the cool shallows. The children were pre occupied and could of cared less. I seen a few fish, but I think they preferred the taste of floated potato chips rather than my spinner. People with huge floating caravans of tied together boats with the sole purpose of getting hammered and collecting beads from the efforts of showing there breasts. We dodged Rafts with people passed out over the edge. The easy flowing river we once new turned into a Demolition derby. 11:00 Happy hour treated our family to beer bongs, men screaming "show us your boobs!" F words used as conjunctions to merge words together like "I'm" and "wasted." The river vanished and canoes and kayaks covered what seemed to be every square foot. You looked down the river to see the fruit flavored colors of a skittles commercial. Cans littered the bottom of the river and full beers floated on top like the debris of a beer truck roll over. The clear river was clear enough to show all the remnants of the tail gate party before the game. The interstate Highway in Mad Max Road Warrior. The children were having a good time and everything was going off without a hitch. It's a nice start for a day float where the river is clear and a current runs thru to give you a little nudge into the right direction. We started right at the Big Sugar entrance to the Elk. We got around, ate some breakfast and headed off to shuttle our boats and get on the river to start our day of swimming, fishing, craw dad hunting Etc. I understood a little, I wanted to sleep a little longer myself. Anyway a few of our neighbors got a little upset at the kids and said some choice words and that was it. They were a little loud and we tried to quiet them down but 10 minutes was about all that they could stand before hide and seek turned into tag and most parents can understand that. The next morning the kids were excited and like small children do, they got up early. We got to the campsite late Friday night, We set up our tents at about 10:00 and went to sleep. We used the campground but shuttled our own boat. So we decided not to do the Big Sugar part of the trip and stick with the Elk from Pineville to Eagles Nest Campground which is about a 8 mile float. The trip down the Big Sugar is a little narrow and when the water level is high can be tricky. The Elk River starts in Pineville, MO from the Big and Little Sugar rivers. We have done most all the rivers in our area and decided on the Elk because we knew the river was easy to float and most other rivers were a little high because of the recent rains. old and our friends children ages 2,4, and 7 years old.
