I was late-teens when I first saw Deliverance (took a date on a Saturday night). The following weekend, I went on a canoe/ hiking trip deep into the Adirondacks. We had to canoe/portage about 15 miles to get to our campsite in the smack middle of nowhere. I spent a lot of time scanning the shoreline for signs of activity...

My friends had a tourist pamphlet they'd picked up in Georgia, when they were looking for locations for kayaking/float camping trips. It was for the Chattooga River, and proclaimed, "As Seen in the Movie 'Deliverance'" as a selling point. I about peed myself. ~Amanda
