What were these guys thinking?

[Greasy B]

They were thinking that the river is an amusement park ride. As though there is some higher force looking out for them, wrong.

The higher force gave them a brain they didn't use!

i drive right over the 21 bridge everyday...crazy to float it...the whole area on the south side of the bridge is flooded into the fields...not uncommen, but not a smart place to float right right now.

Well, thank goodness they are alive. No one likes a deadly outcome.

On a related note, Mother Earth weeps, because there are 3 extra people she has to support, and, insult to injury, reduces the Earth's IQ by a factor of 10.

Hey, if it weren't for those guys they wouldn't have gotten to play in that sweet little rescue boat. Those things are a blast!

That's a little bit south of me, I wouldn't even take a motor boat in the Meramec right now. Sunday I saw a whole tree root ball and all floating down the river towards Hwy 21 bridge. Who know where it fell in the river.

I agree you can't fix stupid.

Well I guess some of my friends and I are "Stupid"

Granted we were all on kayaks with jackets on and we all have over 1,000 miles on our kayaks. When the river is up like that I would not recommend to go out but it's so much fun.
