I have a few old photos which suggest that a bunch of them have since dissapeared thanks to progress, but they are basically holdovers from the very first years of the Riverboat, when there was literally nothing to look at. Here's a list of them all:<BR/><BR/>Twin Rivers Bend<BR/>Raccoon Point<BR/>Deer Crossing Shallows<BR/>Devil's Elbow<BR/>Tree Snag Reef<BR/>Crawdad Shoals<BR/>Howling Dog Bend<BR/><BR/>Crawdad Shoals in my favorite, not only for the lack of crawdads or shoals at that point of the river, but because the name is awesome. However, the coolest is probably Deer Crossing Shallows, since a herd of elk is actually on either shore in the process of waiting for the boat to pass before they can continue on.FoxxFurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00443092111956989561noreply@blogger.com
