I was thinking of adapting a plastic sling back reclining lounge
chair to sit in the canoe.
Possibly adapting a wheel barrow with cushions to get from the canoe/
stream to my wheelchair.
Our local stream is not real deep except at a few spots.
My worry is flipping and banging my body around.
Of course I would have life vest on and foam noodles in canoe with
several strong men in my and other canoes.

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.
