We had a grandma down in the creek today. I'm shocked that the water level isn't higher, with all the rain we got. I've seen this creek banging up against the top of it's ten foot bank. It took out this neighborhood back in the nineties!

But no, the same bottoming out place is still there, you need to get out of your tube and walk fifty feet to deeper water. Today, a sweet old lady about my age had the nerve to try this run.

She was settled into that tube expecting a leisurely cruise to the finish. I'm sorry to say this, but you need a certain degree of agility to pull this off. She realized that she needed to get out of the tube, but that didn't quite work out as planned, and there she was, sitting on the rocks, calling for help.

One of her big strong grandsons ran to her assistance, and she was back on her way. I work for the company, I could probably ride for free, or for donuts, but I have not, nor will I. I'm too old...
