Jean camps beside a wide river and wonders how wide it is....? Jean camps beside a wide river and wonders how wide it is. She spots a large rock on the bank directly across from her. She then walks upstream until she judges that the angle between her and the rock, which she can still see clearly, is now at an angle of θ = 45° downstream (see figure). Jean measures her stride to be about one yard long. The distance back to her camp is n = 110 strides. About how far across, both in yards and in meters, is the river?
What should i bring when canoeing down the river and camping there for the weekend?

Where is a good place for a river/float/camping trip? My friends and I would like to go on a camping trip this summer. We are picturing canoeing down a river and camping in a tent on the shore in like a forest I guess. We want the river to be very easy to navigate with no danger possible. We live in Kansas and don't want to drive more than 7 hours; we were thinking somewhere in Arkansas or South or North Dakota. Any suggestions or tips? Thanks

We are a KC group of about 30 just looking to find a campground to float that isn't "family oriented" with strictly enforced quiet hours starting at 10 or 11. We want to stay as close as possible which means basically Lebanon (Niangua), Eldrgidge (Little Niangua), Pineville/Noel (Elk/Sugar Creek) areas. The only place I have found is River Ranch Resort but their "late night loop" campground is full. There has to be other late night campgrounds for these rivers right?

Where does the property line fall when living on a river? I'm going canoeing down a river in Wisconsin. Its going to be like a 12 hour trip w/o any breaks, so I was going to setup camp somwhere along the river. I was wondering if sandbanks actually belong to the nearest land owner or if it belongs to the state. The reason why I'm wondering is because sandbars commonly change positions along the river when theres high tide at the begging of Spring and then it deposits the sand in a different spot. Also sometimes the sandbars pop up in the middle of the river so who owns that? If you can give me a website link also that would be great. Thanks!

Is it ok to eat ducks out of the river? My friend ran away from home recently, he has been living in a park next to a river and living off ducks that he catches, he cooks them over a camp fire, he thinks he is pretty ingenious, and is quite enjoying his time "living in the wild" But my girlfriend says that ducks in the river are disease ridden, and he shouldnt be eating them. This could explain a few of the rashes he has got since moving down there. But I think duck would be fine, thai people eat duck, and so does my uncle, and hes fine. So is duck alright to eat straight out the river? Is there any preparation he should be using?

What happened this past weekend at the Guadalupe River??? I was at the Guadalupe River in New Braunfels this past weekend for Memorial Day and I woke up in my tent on Sunday around 8:00 p.m. and when I walked out I was practically the only person left in the overflow camping field at Mountain Breeze. My friends and I packed everything up and left because a cop came by and told us that there was a mandatory evacuation. We were on the river until 5:00 p.m. that day and it was raining during that time and it didn't seem like the river had gotten that bad! What happened that caused everybody to flip out and leave??? I was also told that the bridges were flooding but I was able to drive over them without a problem!
