[QUOTE="Rancocas, post: 5071782, member: 2871"] I think set up camp at Two Rivers first, then make day trips from Reliance back to camp for one day. Camp to Charleston for another day. Parksville Dam on the Ocoee to camp for a 3rd day. You would need a vehicle shuttle from point to point. Drive from camp up to Reliance to launch, then have someone drive your vehicle back to camp. Etcetera. When I go my wife usually leaves her car at my take-out point. We then go together to the put-in. From there she drives my truck back and switches back to her car, leaving my truck for me when I get there later. Of course, when my wife goes with me, we leave her car at the take-out. When we get back to the take-out by canoe, she sits there guarding our canoe and gear while I take her car to go and retrieve my truck. I drive back, we load canoe and gear, and then must drive back to the put-in to retrieve her car. The shuttling is kind of a bother, but it works for us. For longer trips I simply get dropped off. When I reach my take-out I make a phone call; "I'm here. Come and get me." In Canada I was able to make some round trips by both leaving from and returning to the same spot where I left my truck. However that required some overland portages from one watershed to another. Some portages are easy, other rather difficult. About two hundred years ago there was a long portage from the area of where Hwy 11 crosses the Hiwassee, overland to the Conasauga River that approximately followed the present route of Hwy 11. Once in the Conasauga a person could float all the way down to Mobile, Alabama. I have read that flatboats full of farm produce and other products were hauled over that portage on special carriages by horses or mules, launched in the Conasauga and taken on down river to market in Mobile. Much faster route to market than going down the Tennessee, to the Ohio, and then all the way down the Mississippi to New Orleans. [/QUOTE]
