Guess not everyone gets wiser with age. Floating that river this spring is one of the stupider things one could do. It’s a mess and the flows are crazy

Especially after his brother was killed on the same trip 2 years earlier from what the story says, kinda think that should have been a lesson learned, glad he survived!

When I Was Young & Dumber I Decided To Swim Across The Colorado River!

Not Too Far Across,Right?

I Swim Like A Rock!

Didn't Look That Swift!

Swept Me Downstream about a Mile & Half Within A Blink Of An Eye!

Thought For Sure It Was Over With!

I Don't Care What Size Of Bucks Are On The Other Side Anymore!

I Won't Pull That Stupid Stunt Again!
