I love it! Rivers are awesome. I like camping so long as it's with the right people. I made the mistake once of going with 4 couples I didn't know very well. Turns out they were yuppies, complaining about what this new stove cost and how much this mountain bike they want to buy costs and how this new tent they saw in a magazine is better than the old tent they bought a month ago. Yuck. The last day I yelled 'How about everyone shut the fuck up and look at the sunset on the river?!' Never hung out with them again.
