We used to tube with those down the Tchefuncte river. Not as good as canoes, but lots of fun!
First time for me was 1963. Tube stolen and inflated with a line to a spark plug port on a '58 Chevy. The tube could have exploded if you looked at it cross-eyed. But it worked.

When I was 11 years old (1967), I was at the Salesmanship Club boy's camp in East Texas for a couple of years. We practiced canoeing at Caddo lake, for a while, then went down the Sabine River from Gladewater, in north Texas, to the Gulf of Mexico (600 miles). It took us 7 weeks and a day, and we were all expert canoers by the time we finished. Mishaps and all, I'd do it again if I could. Unfortunately, that was the last time I ever got to use a canoe!

I kayaked an undeveloped section of the Missouri River in Montana.  150 miles in 5 days.  There were three canoes in the party, but my wife and I used sea kayacks.  Mostly, it's a lazy trip.  You don't have to paddle unless you feel like it.  The Missouri is a fast moving body of water, but without rapids. I tried paddling my kayak against the current, and couldn't do it.  I think you might when the river is low, but after heavy rains the water runs fast.  There were no nearby roads most of the time.  Only one bridge in 150 miles.

Kayaking is good, but I've only done it once. I had to make paddles from two flat-head shovels taped together, but it worked - a little too good, in fact. I had to back-paddle hard to avoid a collision, and flipped the thing 180 degrees, which dumped me right in the water. It was only waist deep, though, so I just came up laughing my ass off.

a take over by brazilian pepper trees.. now that's a riot.

My parents have one at their house. The branches grow very fast. It can get out of control if it isnt cut every year. It drops a few seeds that grow every year, but still only one tree cause we take out the seedlings. Had lots of fun with my sister cause that tree is a magnet for weird bugs. I think there was 3 kinds of mexican fruit fly in the year they sprayed L.A. County.

Some people here are hoping for the dickasaurus.  Greatest gonad, bigger than the pecker on a blue whale, which is of course, a whale of a pecker ;-)

Don't make fun of the T-rex's small hands, they are very sensitive about that ;-)
