Given that you could walk or ride from the Atlantic to the Pacific without
getting your (or your horse's) feet wet</span><br><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">

Hmmmm, I'm trying to think ... IS there a route you can take which doesn't have
to cross a major river here or there? I'm not an EXPERT on geography, but can't
think of one. (Although I HAVE walked across a major river without getting my
KNEES wet ... and without benefit of bridges ... Central Gangetic Plain's dry
season changes that geography completely!)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">You just
have to follow the watersheds (map: <<a href="http://www.cec.org/naatlas/img/NA-Watersheds.gif" target="_blank">http://www.cec.org/naatlas/img/NA-Watersheds.gif</a>>).
Starting from Virginia
for example you easily reach the Appalachians.
You have to follow the ridge of the Appalachians northwards almost till Lake Erie. Then westwards, moving through Chicago (streams in the west of Chicago already flow to the Mississippi), then through Missouri and North Dakota.
You reach Canada
while avoiding the Missouri
tributaries. Further avoiding the Columbia
tributaries you end up in Long Beach, Washington. Of
course there are other ways too. But they all will lead through Chicago cause its the only gap between the Mississippi-Missouri Basin and the Great Lakes-St.
Lawrence system - except you like the cold and start in Newfoundland...<br>
<br>
Of course this is all about natural waterways. You still have to cross the
man-made Illinois Waterway.
But if we count the Illinois Waterway
we have to count bridges too, which would make it fairly easy ;-)<br>

My father and three or four uncles were present in revival-course around 1970
described there.<br>
<br>
A couple of years ago our folklore archives succeeded to get the
deciphred/digitalised variants of the wax cilinder recordings of bagpipe from
1921.<br>
