North Fork River - Missouri 4K

This trip was filmed prior to a life-changing experience. Little did Brenda and I know what would come shortly after our return home. While editing this project, it occurred to me how quickly circumstances can change, altering your paradigm completely. It has been said again and again that life is short. One needs to live in the moment and take nothing for granted. Although often said, it is very easily forgotten. Sometimes, it takes a stark reminder to appreciate what is important. Family, friends, our faith……those we love and trust, are most valuable. This river was an incredible gift to paddle, although I didn’t realize it at the time. Looking back to just October, it occurred to me how my perspective and appreciation for all those in my life had changed in just a few months. All rivers we paddle hold significance for us in one way or another. This one will definitely be a permanent memory. It is not as spoken of as the Current or Buffalo, but this river is most certainly worth a visit!
