Background The Red River raft was a result of the highly erodible soils of the Red River alluvial valley being carved by each high water event on the river. As the river moved back and forth across its alluvial plain, trees were undermined along the riverbanks and fell into the river. The raft artificially raised the banks of the river and forced the creation of numerous distributaries of the Red – evidence of which can still be seen today. www.mvk.usace.army.mil /offices/pp/projects/j_bennett_johnston_waterway/background.htm   (530 words)

CSIndy: Sports (July 6 - July 12, 2000) Rafts must be able to get under a low bridge with a clearance of three to five feet, depending on water levels, and they can't be wider than six feet. Rafts built for speed can make the trip in about a half hour, but many rafts take as much as an hour and a half to complete the course. River conditions affect the race speed, of course, with the stretch often slow and meandering, but this year dam release schedules have the river running relatively high with "some fast currents and some tough spots" according to Vorndam. www.csindy.com /csindy/2000-07-06/sports.html   (1249 words)
