" The West channel boat landing...isn't that in Minnesota just past Pettibone? THat is a STEEP boat landing with good current. Not a good place to lose a boat and trailer. On a side not i remember a story about a guy in a van who every time he gunned it, the van would just go further into the river because of the slime...The van ended up in the drink. "
