This baby is somehow looking very young and very old at the same time. 🐢

Alligator snapping turtles are widely recognized for their prehistoric physical features. They get their name from large, powerful jaws and shells that can resemble the rough, ridged skin of an alligator.

Adult males can weigh up to 249 pounds; females are much smaller. Known from 14 different states across the Southeast, Midwest and Southwest, the alligator snapping turtle is the largest freshwater turtle in North America.

We sometimes get requests asking for books about archeology in Arkansas. I (Michelle) have a few that I recommend, but one I've personally used a lot is The Archaeology of the Central Mississippi Valley by Morse and Morse (pictured). Do you have an archeology book that you love or recommend? Let's make a list below!

Good news for those who like to get their vehicles shuttled.

These measures ought to required across the entire country.

It's good to see discussion regarding water quality testing during storm events, when the current is brown and nutrients and pathogens are on the move. Now we need to convince ADEQ.

Great float service for the Forks of the Little Red. Archey and the Middle Fork.

Mom’s float free Mother’s Day weekend is back. If you are a mom and you use any of our services (rental, shuttle, or both) it is free. No tricks just free to all moms. We have limited capacity so we will offer this special until we are booked full for the weekend. No rain checks this year sorry the season is getting a late start due to the cold weather and we have limited number of weekends to pay the bills. We run by appointment so we insure we can service all of our obligations. Message or call to reserve your spot.
