Where can I search for a long-term traveling companion to float a 2000-mile-long river?

Don't know why you would have trouble finding a partner, sounds like it would be a great trip to make. The 2-3 month part would probably limit you to retirees or someone self employed. Advertise on radio and the papers.

Here are some outfits that will take you...\n\nhttp://www.adventuregateway.com/top-outfitters/river-runners/\n\nhttp://www.riversresort.com/new.html\n\nhttp://www.aceraft.com/rafting/whitewater.html\n\nhttp://www.new-river-rafting.com/\n\nhttp://www.rivermen.com/new_river_lower.cfm\n\nhttp://www.newriver-rafting.com/ \n\nI went down the Gauley with Class VI River Runners and had a great time (overnighted) - I know the food isn't something you'd normally remember about a white water trip with half a dozen class V's but the food Class VI River Runners gave us was excellent!\n\nHave fun and BE SAFE!!

Umm... in Riverside... duh!\n\n\nYou could check out http://www.craigslist.org/ and see if you find any on there.  (be sure to select a local city)\n\n\nHave fun in the sun down there (Last I heard it was like 110ºF down there!)

An RV & Trailor shop should be able to "hook" you up.  (No pun intended, but it's cute)

all three answers are right; if you mean a river boat as in a steam powered stern wheeler, no; you still today cant get a boat from the Mississippi system to the Columbia without taking it overland...google "Lewis and Clark" to see if they portaged their boats...I think they had to abandon them across the Continental Divide, built a boat on the Columbia and came back to their eastern boats later, but I'm not 100% sure on that......

Where are the towns you mentioned. US? UK? and what kind of boat are you looking for? Monohull? Catamaran? Send me an e-mail or post some specifics. I am a catsailor so would have most information on multihulls. This is a pretty tight world wide community.

Where do you live?  What water are you on?\n\nMichigan has the only floating, traveling post office.

Contact the Sportfishing landings, in So.Cal.\nThey use the same rods, as loaners, for tourists. They might have a plan to help you, or a suggestion on where to turn.

for a 1,000 miles, enough beer, booze and food so we are not thirsty and don't turn cannible? But I'd have to call the coast guard to get a real list but I'd like to have life jackets a raft and a radio...at the very least...but i have to pack all my shoes for a trip that long and i'm afraid i wouldn't have room for the radio

If you can't find them in the classifieds then try and contact canoe outfitters in the area. They will usually sell their overstock and used canoes.\nhttp://www.yellowusa.com/category/Canoes/Baltimore_MD.html \nI hope this helps, Happy Paddling!!!
