And you still have the picture up to today. That's amazing.
It was one of about 3000 35mm slides my parents had. I scanned them all in about 6 years ago. Still working on thousands of other old pictures. Keeps me out of trouble. lol.
Nice shot! I used to love tubing. Got a couple of nice scars from a particular reckless tube venture on a mountain stream :-)
This was a pretty tame and leisurely 2 mile float. Couldn't beat it though on a hot afternoon.
I now live near a lazy river and go once or twice a year with my kids. Sadly one or two people still die per year on that river.
Many on the river are somewhat to severely inebriated though when tubing. That is definitely a factor ;-)
Yeah, you can't underestimate the human ability to maim or kill ourselves or someone else. Especially with alcohol involved. 🤷♂️
