I was just about to mention that. Speaking of which, you asked about about lakes that would solve your crossing-river problem. I don't think anyone's mentioned Two Ocean Lake, in Grand Teton National Park. According to <http://www.jacksonholenet.com/columns/jon_horton_snow_above_town.php>, it drains into the Snake River and thus into the Pacific, *and* the Wind River and thus into the Gulf of Mexico. I couldn't find any decent maps on the Web. However, you can download something from <http://wgiac2.state.wy.us/scripts/sqltest/webform1.aspx?FileID=4400> if you have the software to read it, and the USGS offers a Two Ocean Lake quad. OT: That article mentions "the muscular brown sinuses of the Missouri and Mississippi". Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Or maybe this *is* on topic: In Brust's fiction, which character do you think is most likely to have "muscular brown sinuses"?
