Many people cross river bridges with their boat in tow, heading for their favorite lake with no notion of exploring the waterway that they are passing over. If the trip to the lake is on a weekend they will likely encounter a crowded lake with plenty of inconsiderate and often dangerous boaters. Tubing, skiing and rafting with other boaters is certainly fun and that is all many people are interested in but there are those of us who view boating a little different. We consider our boat to be a mode of transportation that can take us to wonderful destinations throughout the country, but we actually care more about the journey than the destination.
With the exception of passing through the bigger cities, our rivers are the most natural of resources that we have access to. One can travel for many miles on most rivers and see the same things that river travelers did 200 years ago.
