If you enjoy a little river with catfish, you'd like the one near our place in Alabama. On holidays, and almost any summer day, I found the lakes around there unbearable. Thundering, madly driven, boats and skijets making me think I was at an airport, not in the great outdoors. Then there's the boomboxes turned way up high. Our river isn't accessible enough to attract them, thank goodness. Just some kayakers, fisherfolk in rowboats and sitting on shore, and kids in cutoffs leaping from the cliffs, and swinging from ropes into the swimming holes. Most days you can walk over and not see another soul, especially if you know the right spots. You can sit there and watch the sun set behind the cliff and walk home before the sky is fully dark.

Hey!! That sounds like the same place that I sometimes park to put my canoe into a favourite creek.... Hordes of nincompoops who have the wharf covered in coolers and fishing rods, etc... and who take half an hour to back their $#%@#$$% trailers into the creek and then goof around trying to get their boats unhooked and loaded full of their heaps of junk. Then they spend 5-10 more minutes going back and forth to their trucks to get sunglasses, cellphones and any other things that they've forgotten at the last moment... This goes on all morning and again in the afternoon when they come back from fishing... Luckily they all go downstream and out onto a river... they can't go upstream on the creek... too many sunken trees and shallow sandbars... that's the croc's territory...;-}>
