    [edit] Creation of this page

    I was surprised that no one had written about this river yet, as it is somewhat interesting, and grows quite large up near Rockford.

    I wanted to make sure the talk section was open for this page because this is my first wiki entry, and I want to be able to learn from any mistakes I might have made when creating this page.--Bstripe 19:47, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

    Lots of good photos - but I feel the "History" section is written too informally. Think about rewriting with a more objective narration.

    [edit] Trivia

    I removed what I perceived to be lunacy, that is the trivia that said late at night along the banks Indians could be seen paddling their canoes. Also added fact tag to the so called local legend, which may not even be real. Unless someone can produce a reference for it I am going to remove it.

    In general, crazy facts and trivia need to have in line citations, using the <ref> tag. A mcmurray 20:34, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
