Float Trip Help Please

I am not a supporter of over regulation by the DNR the MDOC or anyone else, but it would seem that there would be more more presence on a river with as much "traffic" as on the Niangua, Also not one to knock someone that wants to toss a couple back and have a good time in the sun,. but at the point that people were being life flighted off the side of the river due to alcohol poisoning, kids are yelling across the river for respectable women with husband and kids in the raft or canoe with them to "earn some beads",.. then to cuss them when they politely try to ignore them and paddle by,... rude, not cool,.. and disrespectful,.. I know that this type of behavior is present just about everywhere,. but to disrespect a Family in this manor is unexceptable. There is a difference between a canoe full of college kids and a mom and dad trying to epose their kids to the great outdoors,... thank goodness that the moms were respectable enough not to expose themselves to the great outdoors,...

Fox it's hard to protect a river from over use if you're one of those making money from it. I'm not much for too much government over site, but the agency who's job it is to protect it renting canoes on a river being destroyed by overuse is government incompetence at the least.

I understand Wayne,. it's just a shame to see such a beautiful river abused like that but the dollar bill does put blinders on alot of people these days.
