Mike Bezemek paddles with TRR
Mike Bezemek paddles with TRR on the Buffalo river and shares his experiences.
“I’d wanted to volunteer with TRR for years. But I never made it happen. I was always busy with writing and teaching obligations or away on a trip. While writing Paddling the Ozarks, I decided to stay local all summer to gather research and photos. On a trip to the Current River, a friend suggested I combine field work with Paddlefest. Truth is, I felt oddly reluctant, perhaps ashamed I’d put off participating for years until it coincided with my own project. But my guiding philosophy is saying yes to new experiences.”
