I paddle primarily in the midwest of the US mainly because that is where I live. Paddled Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Wisonsin, Tennesee, Missouri, Arkansas, but I really love Michigan rivers. I live in Michigan and so enjoy the rivers of my home state. I have a guide and outiftting business, started originally working with troubled kids through the court system and decided to expand to "paying customers" rather than writing grants all year. I take church groups, scouts, women and men's groups, families, parent, child groups on trips on the Manistee river in the northern lower peninsula of Michigan. I love that river.
I also have a group of men, about 14 of us, who paddle 4-5 days every Memorial Day weekend, this year we are doing the Buffalo in Arkansas, (any help appreciated) and this will be our 33rd annual adventure. A long and wonderful tradition of paddling and friendship. We hail from 7 different states.
I belong to a hammock camping forum, not at all familiar with this one, hope to gain some insight, and might even offer some occasionally.
