Underground rafting

Post by White Rabbit »

So, I went and tried to float the Jordan Creek tunnel again last evening. I was able to do it, but the water was really too low and I scraped bottom many times and obliterated my raft by the end of it. I couldn't get there any earlier yesterday, which is when the water was really rolling I guess. I would've had a better ride if I had.

It was still fun, but I wish I could get there during a rip-roaring rain and have a really awesome ride.

Here's some pictures I was able to get with my handy-dandy new waterproof camera.

Water looks surprisingly clear.

Given the absence of Lobster it would seem so.

I'd like to have a few of us doing it, with someone riding this at the forefront:

Rubber Ducky you're the one..

kinda low head room on that sucker though, four ft tall.
More online investigation than onsite exploration these days.

Were the duck $10.00 like the lobster I would be up for it. As it is I think I am going to just try to get some friends to make a flotilla of $10.00 inflatable animals.

A friend of mine has an inflatable duck! It's almost impossible to balance on, unfortunately. I also know a few who would be very interested in a rafting expedition... So count me in, along with a couple others.

I have been down for this for ages, but no one ever calls me. So screw you people. I'll do it with some friends sometime, I guess.
