Polk is all by himself. If I just drop him on Reel (no rail or riverine options), his travel time is 8 days:

If I use rail, he takes a train ride up to Covington, crosses the river, and walks to Reel a day earlier (7 days):

If I tell him to take a steamboat, he apparently walks to Covington, swims across the Mississippi to Osceola, and walks to Reel in 9 days:

If I use riverine transportation and actually path him over the Mississippi as I think should be happening, he... swims from Hatchies Confluent to Obion Confluent, and on to Reel, Missouri?

This just doesn't seem right. I don't know... something is wrong here.
