We had a great time on the river this weekend.  It took a few minutes, 
as usual, to settle in and feel comfortable, but soon we were more 
looking at the scenery than worrying about turning turtle.  There were a 
few weirs and points of interest.  I was surprised by the number of 
gravel shoals.  There was only a few times that I could not touch bottom 
with the paddle.  We saw some really large stripers and catfish, but no 
sturgeon.  I saw a few turtles and herons, but no snakes or mammals.  We 
stopped  on shoals, found some mussels, and marveled at their size.  We 
were only on the river about 3 hours, but it was great-not too hot, not 
too cold, very relaxing..no gasoline worries, no political discussions...just nature.
