Hang around any campfire near the Ocoee, New, Chattooga, Buffalo, etc,
etc and you'll hear plenty of paddling fiction. As you may know, the
river equivalent of "Once upon a time..." is "No ****, there I was..."
As to whether it's good fiction, I make no claims.

If you liked ARRTI, have a look at the article "Important Historical
Document Discovered By Chris Bell" in the Reads section of
http://www.eruditium.org/pete/.

Also happy to hear that you are a great lover, but let's keep the
conversation about boating here, shall we?
