Cave Springs at current river in pungo 120 and GoPro HD

Kayaking with our rat terrier on current river in Missouri, between Akers ferry and round spring. The water was crystal clear with blue green tint very fun place to go everytime! Very busy there during fourth of July weekend 2010. I was using the GoPro Hero Wide to video the trip!

Yes we are using our pungo 120's, for a 10 yr old he does very well paddling, he's a natural! Of course the pungo 120 makes it much easier as well since they track really good.

Thanks for comment!

we're going to the current in june where did u camp at, i really want to find the cave, it looks really awsome

[outdoorzone]

@mopedtrip There are several primitive camp spots all along the river. Or you can camp at Pulltite camp ground about halfway to between Akers and Round Spring. Cave Spring is halfway between Akers and Pulltite on the left side of the river where it turns to the right. Its easy to miss if you dont pay attention. June is a good time to got the river should be at a good float level and there will be many people on the river usually. I would start early before the crowds show up. Thanks

Does your dog get scared? It seems like his tail was curled under his butt.

@scrillah81 LOL.....No he is the least bit scared, not scraed of much except fireworks. just a short tail like all rat terriers.

Thanks! Yes he is a great rat terrier! He pretty much took to it pretty quickly and our other female rat terrier did great with it also! Rats are great outdoor dog breeds with very few inhibitions it seems. You just need to get them out on a pond or small lake and get them use to your kayak or canoe first then hit the river, they will love it like ours hopefully! Thanks and goodluck!

every one who visits the current river should look up Shannondale. great camping and great atmosphere. ive grown up as the pastor/directors son all my life. our camp/church would love to have you camp there. if you ever look it up ask for pastor Jeff, tell him his son sent ya.

Were you all paddling Wilderness Systems 120. I thought the young boy handled his kayak very well.

I mean his small tail. If it was longer then it would appear that it was curled under his butt hehe.

This looks like a great time. Your Dog is awesome too !!! Did he just naturally just take to the Kayak or did it take him some time to get comfortable with it ? I ask because I also have Rat Terriers but I have never done this with them. I wonder how they would do.
