Howardsville Canoe Livery

Jimmy Crews, Roger Nelson, and Stephanie Tyson grew up on the James River, paddling along its tree-lined banks to find the most scenic spots and best fishing holes. Now the masterminds behind Howardsville Canoe Livery, the trio outfits outdoorsmen for their own explorations by renting tubes, 10’ Perception Pescador kayaks, and 16’ Old Town Camper canoes. Most trips go down the James River, though adventurers can also explore the Rockfish and Tye Rivers when water levels permit. Abundant wildlife roams the banks, including the occasional bald eagle. Though trips are self-guided, one of the livery’s team members can join groups for a guided tour, narrating in the group’s choice of accent about the rivers’ rich history, geography, geology, and fishing spots. Though all trips include shuttle service, staff can also give a lift to those who already own a tube, kayak, or canoe.

The Groupon Guide to: Promised Technology

Since the technological leaps of the Space Age, scientists have promised us numerous exciting, life-altering inventions that have yet to materialize. Here's why we're still waiting on these must-have contraptions:

Jetpacks: Aeronautical engineers are still unable to design a personal flight thruster that doesn't also burn the pilot's legs clean off.

Hoverboards: Anyone can glue a bunch of magnets to a wooden plank and ride the Earth's magnetic field, but no one has yet to sell the public on its appeal by featuring it in a movie.

Personal-Size Microwave: That’s what they were really trying to make at Chernobyl.

Love-Matching Computer: Scientists unveiled what seemed to be a breakthrough last year, but the machine kept matching every woman with, "this one really smart, lonely scientist who's… RIGHT BEHIND YOU!"

Why aren’t lazy scientists solving the nation’s hoverboard crisis?
