Here is a map of the trip. Each color symbolizes the proposed length of each day of poling. I plan on traveling 6 miles a day at an average speed of .5 miles an hour. Since June, I have spent time on Oscar practising the art of poling, sweating and freezing. Propelling a raft with a pole is about the slowest means of transportation known to man (I hope someone will post a comment that will tell me otherwise. I imagine a piggy-back ride on a three-toed sloth might be a touch more sluggish for example).
The Cane River Lake is, well, a lake. It was dammed at both ends to fascilitate proper aesthitics for the lovely downtown Natchitoches. As such, there is no current. Almost all movement on this river-lake is up to me.
