Float on Jack’s Fork

June 2016 084Petey and I with three friends went on a canoe float on Jack’s Fork after/during some heavy storms (this is when Dallas was flooded a couple weeks back).  It was a three day, two night float and we camped at Jam Up cave.  There was some rain and the water was too high the second day to canoe so we stayed on land but the last day was wonderfully beautiful!

Thanks to Jude for most of these photos!

We had to bring up our canoes about three times. The water rose up about ten feet in a matter of hours and then fell back down by our last day (luckily!).

High rushing water is incredibly dangerous!!! I can see now how people get swept up in floods.

Jam up is about eight feet tall and a hundred feet across. There is a waterfall that can be climbed in low water periods.

Tulsa is an incredible swimmer and she definitely prefers it to being in the canoe.

  1. Son, commit this to memory- “High rushing water is incredibly dangerous!!!” I didn’t see any life jackets in those pictures but i hope you brought them and more importantly wore them. Dad
