June 6th, 2020 Beaver Creek Royal Ranger Friends and Family Float Trip! Weather was perfect 94 for a high no rain and the river was a tad high. We had 14 boats running and 20 people in the group. Float trip started at Bradleyville bridge and we floated 4.7 miles to the next bridge. A perfect day float. We experienced a canoe rescue and a kayak rescue. New floaters don't have all the ins and outs of steering a boat in the water. When it's flat water it's easy when it's rapids with tree's in the river it can get dangerous fast. I took about 12 of us to get the canoe out of the current. We left Ozark AOG at 9:08 am and returned back to Ozark at 5:00 pm. It was a fun day and we all did ok!
