A Web Tool I Would Love To See

People often ask the question: What's a good river to run near ?

There are several web sites that will show you river flows, and some will even tell you if the river is at a runnable flow, but these sites tend to be organized alphabetically or by broad geographical area. There are also web sites that will help you find the location of a business near you, and many will give you a list of several addresses in order of driving distance.

What I would like to see is a tool that would allow me to plug in a location and a river difficulty range (e.g., class II+-IV) and would spit out a list of runs in order of driving time to either the put-in or takeout (whichever is closest). It would also be useful to be able to put in a maximum driving time in case I just want to find stuff within a certain range.
