## How you would actually start

- Check whether the promise holds

“277 river miles and roughly three weeks, gated by a private permit lottery most applicants lose for years.” That is the pitch. Spend an hour on first-hand accounts rather than listicles — what it costs, how long it really takes, and what people wish they had known.

- Find the small version first

There is almost always a one-afternoon version. Do that before committing money or telling anyone.

- Put it somewhere you will see it

An intention you have not written down is a mood. A list you revisit is a decision you keep making.
