20, Souris Manitoba So you choose food - good work! It shows a healthy self-preservation instinct. You pack in a supply of Doritos, Chef Boy-R-Dee, and Mountain Dew until only three inches separates your canoe from a quick trip to the river bottom. What good are scientific instruments? Your superior intellect should enable you to assess any situation, your natural scientific instincts should allow for a quick solution to any problem. Even so, you do reserve some space for essentials - matches, a hatchet, and a 12 gauge shotgun so as to better observe any wildlife that crosses your path. You face your next command decision:
 Choices: Rivers may only run one way but you can run two ways on them. What to do? Paddling upstream (where you're likely to find the cause of the problem) might be logical - but it's sure a lot of work! It is getting late and you're both tired. On the other hand, downstream travel is more in keeping with both your paddling style and your natural investigative instincts. Perhaps it will allow you to more closely examine the results of the decrease in flow, and determine a possible motive for the dastardly deed. Which way?
