[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 280605, member: 6937"] Since I'm not familiar with that area, I had to do some recon, courtesy of satellite images and photos posted to google earth...which is what I do to familiarize myself any time I go to any body of water that I'm not familiar with. If you know how to read sat images, you can tell where shoals are, etc. Not to mention you can also use some of the map tools for doing things like measuring distance, for plotting out fuel consumption/cruise range, etc. Anyhow, from what I could tell, that's some tough terrain! Looks like a jetboat is about the only practical boat to use throughout most of that river, for sure! And from what I saw on a couple of the photos posted to google earth, I'd be nervous going through some of those areas! [/QUOTE]
