Rivers Run Through It

"Now that I've had a taste of it I don't wonder why you love boating." Rosie Sayer to Charlie Allnut

Rosie, is of course, Katherine Hepburn's character and the great Humphrey Bogart played Charlie Allnut. The movie is "The African Queen", one of the best "boating" adventures ever. We know a bit about boating here, living as we do in such a watery state: two Great Lakes, one Mississippi River, and 15,000 + lakes (Take that Minnesota! You of the 10,000 lake brag. We leave you in the dust.) One of the most wonderful of our watery statistics is that Wisconsin has some 30,000 miles of rivers and streams. And many are "boatable". Here's the thing, last year videographer Frank Boll, sound recordist Brad Wray and yours truly had two wonderful boating adventures, on these stories about the Brunsweiler River and the Totagatic River.

I'm scouting around for some other river stories, I may have one lined up for the Mink River. What's happening river-wise where you live? Is there a story that could be found through a "boating adventure"?? Let me know!
