What if watch the water is in relation to using water as a means to escape, untracked and without a paper trail? Planes have flight logs. Highways are always under surveillance. Everytime you enter a toll road, cameras take a picture of license plates. If anything comes up such as warrants or being on a wanted list a notification would pop up for that area's State Highway Patrol. I think this is in part of how so much drug smuggling and human trafficking is caught by highway patrol departments.
This comes in to what Ive been spending some personal time looking into. I was curious if i could disappear using water from my home in Ohio to anywhere else in the world. And it turns out I can. I am in Portage County Ohio. If i was to drop a kayak in Berlin Lake, I could reappear in Florida or anywhere in the world. I would have a few dams to contend with, but you could drag your kayak over land and renenter the water after the dam and continue.
Berlin lake, head to the dam at the north end. Go around dam into river that feeds Lake Milton. Lake Milton has a dam and dumps into the Mahoning river. Again, go around the dam and reenter Mahoning river. Flow with Mahoning River in PA where dumps into the Beaver River. The Beaver river is pretty short and dumps into the Ohio River. The Ohio river dumps into the Mississippi River which is well known for mouthing into the Gulf of Mexico. From there, you could go anywhere you want to.
I just thought this was an interesting thought to have while i was looking at just how possible it is to disappear using water. If i ever was to get rich, this would be a journey i would take. Than give my Kayak to someone and fly home, just to say i did it.
Might be. But where i live we have well water.
Maybe that's why rural people don't accept the BS as easily
