re: Missouri has the best canoeing of any state. Heck, it's known as the Canoe State

Never floated the Mo, I was part of a bunch of idiots that took a army surplus 6 man raft down a rain swollen Platte river once, river was angry! Later minus myself the same guys took the raft from St Joe down to St Lou, this would have been back in the late 70's, dudes got on TV too!
