I'm an experienced wilderness camper & I'm planning my 1st river trip for Fall 2010. I have some solo canoe & kayak experience as well, & would like to spend a week paddling about 8 hours a day & camping the other 16. My main concern is finding a river in the Michigan or Ohio area that's safe enough to travel for that rough distance, and doesn't have many seriously shallow spots that will require me to get out & carry my vessel. Thanks in advance
