Bill, what does the river look like? I'm a sucker for a river. Is it clear? How wide is it? Is it swift or lazy?

We had a farm on the Red River and it's anything but clear. In hottest summer, it turns green, rest of time, it's, well, red! But it's purty to me.

Your thread reminds me of a song I wrote, "River Rat." I like rivers! And critters!

It looks like you have a seriously cool spread there.
