My 2 cents on these statements..
1) Speaking of longer, I've never seen a straight river. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line.
2) Hills are fun, period. If you are not holding up traffic you can eoc all the way up a hill even if only crawling speed by the time you reach the crest. Picking up speed on the way back down with engine still off feels really good. Major free. Weeeee. Don't forget to attempt to high five your annoyed passenger as you creep over the crest of the hill and shout "we made it!" Resist the "told you so" urge and cheer them up despite hearing 4 or 5 "we are never going to make it" comments.
