Tubing

Last weekend, the little guys on station were playing in the Radcliffe's yard with all the inner tubes. This weekend, the big guys took those inner tubes down the river. 14 of us ( 5 Radcliffes, 2 Myers, 3 Dooleys, 3 volunteers, and myself) walked to suicide rocks and then enjoyed rafting down the river. The water seemed to be at just the right height for us to enjoy the rapids. The damage of the hydro dam caused the river to forge a new route, which enabled us to raft even longer. The longer route provided some challenges in downed trees we had to duck under and disentangle ourselves from, but it was worth it. Thankfully, other than a few scrapes and bruises we all survived and are talking about doing it again - soon.
