As these things go, this one was more random than most. I was driving across the Potomac River a while back (on a bridge, of course) when out of nowhere I wondered, how many rivers have I crossed without benefit of bridge or boat? At first I figured the answer was "Damn few," but after a few moment's thought, I realized it was probably more than most people. For the record, the rivers I have crossed under my own power without benefit of any spans or floatation devices include the New River in Virginia, the Firehole River in Wyoming (in Yellowstone Park), the Fu Lung River in Taiwan, and the Saluda and Broad rivers in South Carolina. There might be more. I'll have to think about it.

Taiwan? What were you doing in Taiwan?
I've crossed the Kapisillit River in Greenland. It's more of a stream than a river. But it's cold water, even in summer, and the rocks are slippery to walk on.
...and that's about it.
