Innertubing, Again

Sun, 31 Jul 2005 23:59:59 -800

I like to engage in much foolishness. This is no more evident than in the
fact that I went innertubing again, despite the horrid sunburn that I acquired
during the last innertubing trip. For this trip, we drove even further
upriver to some state park and floated down the river to Barton. I decided
that I distinctly did not want to injure myself as badly as I'd done the first
time, so I avoided bear-wrestling, falling in the river, and covered myself up
with more articles of clothing. Ironic, though, that with the huge brown tan
that I now have, I probably wouldn't have burned at all! This particular
float had many more rapids, several areas where the water simply wasn't deep
enough even for inner tubes, no cops, and required a fair amount of
intelligence to navigate. All in all I think this one went far more smoothly
than the first. Now on to Timberline!
