Hi Aaron: I would agree with Erik. You need to find a camping spot on the river. There are no rewards for paddling long distances if you are going to overexert yourself. There are probably places where you could tuck into the woods for the night. You may also be discovered and some landowner could threaten to call the cops. You're not in Maine. You could research it and you could find someone who would sponsor you and offer help and publicize your trip. Possibly a local newspaper. Best of luck, BIll
