I actually got the chance to spend almost a year living on the water when I was a kid. I was 15 and found myself with a canoe, camping gear, and no place to really call home. I got to spend that time, starting near the headwaters of the Mo, going from one camp to the next. Being big for my age, I was usually able to get a few days work when low on supplies. Greatest time of my life.

Wonder if that's why I joined the Navy a couple year later.
