Float Trip

I went on my first float trip this weekend with friends and family to the Current River. David and I got down there Friday night at ten. Then we drank a few, and went to bed so we could try and get an early start on Saturday morning to head to the river. We left the campsite at 9:30 Saturday morning, we went to the office where we had to rent our rafts and catch a bus to take us to the place along the river where you put your rafts in to start out. The bus ride was horrible, the road was very curvy, straight drop offs on both sides, no shoulders, and it did not help that the bus driver was going way to fast on the road, I told my friend David, I didn’t know if we were going to make it there. When we finally arrived, we put our rafts in the river, and the water was extremely cold, but once you got used to it, it did not feel to bad. About three miles down the river we came to a spot where several people were stopped to take a break, and realized that off to the side there was people jumping off a thirty foot cliff. As soon as my friends seen that they talked me into doing it, so I did and I am glad because it was a lot of fun. The entire trip was a blast! Thanks to all my friends and family I went with!
