I’m surprised no one has crossed the Missouri yet. It was the last river I crossed when I drove from Rapid City to Sioux Falls and back last November. ---

> [@Tethered\_Kite](#): > > Anybody ever cross the Rubicon? Yes - both the river now called Rubicone, and the river they have established is the Rubicon of Caesar’s time. Neither of them are particularly impressive, but it was pretty cool to cross them. My last river was the Thames, if we’re only counting rivers you can see. London’s riddled with buried rivers, though, so I’d say [this](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Neckinger) is probably actually the last river I crossed. ---

I cross the [Sydenham](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydenham_River_(Lake_Saint_Clair)) river every day on my commute. On Friday, I also crossed the [Thames](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thames_River_(Ontario)) river on my way to lunch. Yesterday I crossed the lovely [St. Clair River](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Clair_River) as I went to America with my mother. The Sydenham and the Thames are shallow, slow and muddy. The St Clair is deep, swift and very, very blue. ---

I live on top of the Mojave River (which mostly runs underground), so I cross it pretty regularly just in running errands around town. Cross the L.A. river every time we go into the city. Last time was maybe 3 weeks ago. ---

Every workday I cross the Lehigh and Little Lehigh Rivers plus numerous creeks and runs (with and without names) on my commute. Weekends and holidays I often find myself crossing the Schuylkill multiple times in a trip ('tis a windy, windy river). ---

The Santa Cruz River(bed). It’s 6000º here and the monsoon has barely started, so there’s no water in it.
