We all know that there are some riverine areas that are nearly impossible to reach, but may hold information about the past, especially if you are interested in resources such as fishtraps. I recently heard from a member of the HoverClub, owners of small one- and two-person Hover Crafts. It seems that the HoverClub have members in the southeastern states and may be willing to assist in research of the area. These craft can take their occupants to places where those with regular outboards fear to tread, and do it at a good speed. I’ll keep you all posted as to what we find out about the club and possibilities of cooperating on research outings.
