The Rivers Reddit
Rivers - natural flowing watercourses, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river. In some cases a river flows into the ground and becomes dry at the end of its course without reaching another body of water. Small rivers can be referred to using names such as stream, creek, brook, rivulet, and rill. There are no official definitions for the generic term river as applied to geographic features, although in some countries or communities a stream is defined by its size. Many names for small rivers are specific to geographic location; examples are "run" in some parts of the United States, "burn" in Scotland and northeast England, and "beck" in northern England. Sometimes a river is defined as being larger than a creek, but not always: the language is vague.
Rivers are part of the hydrological cycle. Water generally collects in a river from precipitation through a drainage basin from surface runoff and other sources such as groundwater recharge, springs, and the release of stored water in natural ice and snowpacks (e.g., from glaciers). Potamology is the scientific study of rivers, while limnology is the study of inland waters in general.

Paddling upstream
When indigenous people paddled canoes downstream over long distances how did they get back home? Is it possible to paddle upstream against the current? Or would they walk home?

Ran into source to sea runners of the Colorado today
No affilliation with these folks, but they seemed cool as hell. Chatted them up on the boat ramp, and was blown away they were making it happen with a SUP and pack raft by the time they made it to Ruby-Horsethief. Theres apparently some decent road support, but dudes are making it happen. Give their page a look. I'm impressed and also jealous.

Beautiful Mountain Forest River at Bayrischzell in the German Alps on a lovely summer day. 🌿 Everyone who's interested can join me to this peaceful place by virtually having a seat by the riverside to delve deeper into this unique quiet nature ambience with a video clip at my profile. 🌊
