Raft down the Mississippi

A motley crew if ever I saw one....

Congrat's for getting off your duffs and doing it, instead of just talking about it. And I'm glad it went rather smoothly. Did you get any fishing done?

where'd ya hide the keg ? ;-)
and did ya have any trouble keeping it cold enough

To answer your questions, no we did not fish, and no we did not have a keg.

To be legal for fishing, you must obtain a fishing license in one of the bordering states. We didn't feel like spending that money, and we don't really enjoy cleaning fish to eat them. We did get this question all the time though, it seemed like everybody knew the perfect spot and wondered if we had gotten anything good.

About the beer, we are only 19 and we didn't feel like having one more thing to worry about when the Coast Guard found us. This was also a very popular question because who in their right mind would go down the river without beer? Really, it was a good enough trip that the alcohol wasn't necessary... About keeping liquids cold, we did have a cooler full of Mt. Dew and Coke. We'd get ice everyday and it'd last about 10-12 hours before it was just cold water. Kind of frustrating, but better than lukewarm.

Good for you. Clean, law-abiding fun.
