Blue Steel: the Anatomy of an Oar Raft
You may recall that about this time last year The Guide took you along on the setup of an oar frame for a friend’s new raft. We only served you information on the frame, which admittedly is about like serving a potato without a steak, but we did promise to...
Humbled On the Hailstone
It’s a singular experience. Dragging your canoe back up river over land, and sometimes through water because over land isn’t an option, trudging slowly one by one past the rapids you just styled – and the one you didn’t – is no easy task; physically or...
Izzy the Adventure Dog
The Guide has big news! We have added a member to the Arkansas Adventure Guide crew. Fellow Adventurers, I’d like to introduce Izzy the Adventure Dog, a four year old Doberman mix weighing in at forty pounds of pure adventure and snuggles. I’ll be honest....
Ridge Ramblin’
12.9 miles. That’s about ten percent of the drive the Arkansas Adventure Guide crew usually undertakes (one way) for an outing. It’s nice though, to be able to walk out the back door on a bluebird Sunday afternoon and be immersed in pure Arkansas adventure...The Crew
Welcome from the Arkansas Adventure Guide crew! We’d love to tell you a little about ourselves.
Deuce
Luke “Deuce” Coop is a lover of adventure and the written word. He’s paddled, rowed, camped, fished and hiked across the map but his favorite outdoor adventure playground is his own back yard. Whether he’s float camping the Buffalo, paddling the Mulberry, Little Missouri or Big Piney or hiking the Ouachita or Buffalo River trails he’s right at home adventuring in Arkansas, and thanks to Arkansas Adventure Guide he can take you along. He looks forward to seeing you out there!
Bec
Bec Dwyer-Coop can be found around The Natural State float camping, stand-up paddle boarding or gazing up from a gravel bar at night at the holes in the blanket. She adds a fresh and unhurried perspective to Arkansas adventure and to The Guide and is an indispensable part of the crew. She’s also Izzy the Adventure Dog’s mom.
Izzy the Adventure Dog
Izzy’s job is to provide snuggles, lessons and laughs. In all three endeavors she exceeds expectations while also enriching every adventure the crew undertakes. If you’re not familiar with her origin story CLICK HERE to give it a read, then join her (and the rest of the crew) for more adventure!
