A few years back my family and I went on a float trip here in Missouri on the 
Meremac river, some went by canoe but several small groups of us also rented a 
4 man and an 8 man raft--they had 4-6-or 8 man raft rentals and canoe rental 
floats. I was carried and put in the 8 man raft with some family membersand 
some of the coolers and stuff. It was fun--We just left my powerchair in the 
van and a few of the guys carried me from the van to the raft. it has been a 
few years back---------i need to try that one again !  I wore a life jacket 
just in case, plus my family knew if I tipped over for any reason to get me to 
the side or shore. Dan H.

I couldn't keep a canoe balanced before my injury. To try it now for me would 
be foolish. But i too am from Pa. And live not too far from the Lehigh River 
and I really miss white water rafting'! I am afraid to try it now (c-6) Ya 
know. My luck isn't the greatest. I don't want my obit to read " stupid cripple 
drowns trying to go wwr" just my luck. E_bay has some cool dune buggies that I 
might Check into. But I am looking for an accessable van first.
