I've mentioned it before. Who would be interested in a polo float trip? It will cost around $40 per person. I think the Big Piney looks like a good spot that is about 2.5 hours away from both Columbia and St. Louis.
We'd be floating on a Saturday. We could camp Friday night or drive down early Saturday Morning. Float all day Saturday and camp Saturday night. Drive home Sunday.
We're talking rafts, not canoes. Canoes cause break-ups and ruin friendships. They also won't hold enough beer. If you're seriously interested let me know. We'll probably need 10 or more people to make this possible.
