I use a floating chair. like a fishing tube but open in the front. Some of us use an innertubes. some rent the rafts.

We havent use a canoe in years. To easy to turn over and loose your beer, cigs, wallets, car keys, and your girl friend/wife.

That's why you never dive into that river.

Not to mention an excessive amount of pig and chicken poop and the nasty bacteria that thrive on same. I would be careful not to let any of that water get into my mouth.

Be sure to check the flow rates, we have been stuck in a severe drought down here and some of the rivers are pretty low. The flow rate right now is in the low 50's which is slow.

camp just called and said river will be @ 5ft when we arrive, They have a new deck on the back of the cabin. The other one was taken out by the flood. Also had to buy new beds, i guess the water got up to window and flooded inside the cabins.

i am glad they got new beds , the other ones were hard as a rock

I'll bet that water is really cold right now and that your balls will be froze off by the time you get down the river. You better take a canoe and at the very least a raft
