Tackling the mighty LeHigh river is a wonderful way to counterbalance the stress of the concrete jungle. We gathered early in the morning, a couple of us hungover, and we began the adventure with pouring rain and struggling to get everyone together. We barreled into White Haven, loaded the raft precariously onto the hyundai and as the clouds cleared, entered the roaring rapids for another adventure. Being the prepared woman I am, I had brought many straps to keep to avoid airborne rafting adventures. Last year we used a 4 door sedan to transport the raft and we all stretched our hands out the windows to hold the raft onto the car which was much more challenging.
I'll spare you the complete recollection of Yuengling & J. D. enduced revelry and simply say it was a great time. There was cliff diving, running jokes, jealously from the guided tours who couldn't be as festive as our party raft and rejuvination from being in nature & with great friends. As always, my favorite part of the trip is bellowing the old drinking song.....
I'll drink when I'm ready,
Get sober by, and by
And if this river don't drown me,
it's onward I will roam.
Cause I'm a river driver
And I'm far away from home.....
yep, the Lehigh is a mighty river, and you are certainly far from home. Glad you made it safely down once again.
ReplyDeleteI think you have to be drunk to sing and understand that song.
