I learned a valuable lesson this weekend. If an attractive woman seems overly friendly, stay away, stay far away! This little lesson stems from the canoeing trip, me and 11 other friends took this past weekend up in northern Michigan on the Rifle river. We went up Friday afternoon camped two nights and did a 28 mile canoe trip on Saturday. I'm not an expert canoer by any means, but consider myself quite capable in the water. Ok back to the story, my buddy Kevin and I were partners and as we were coming down the river there was this huge crowd of people partying on the bank of the river. This girl starts wading out into the river and asks us whats in our cooler and if we have any beer. Well, Kevin and I being the friendly people we are (and appreciative of any attention we get), tell her to go ahead and take a look in the cooler. She comes up to the canoe and immediately starts rocking us and dumps us. We both are pretty pissed, and I end up trying to get her back by tackling/pushing her down, but the damage had been done. She ended up getting some more guys behind us which made us feel a little better. Overall it turned out to be a pretty good trip however, and we even ended
up tipping ourselves over another time. Theres nothing like trying to fish your clothes, food, and cooler out of the water. I've never seen so many people on a river before, it was like a freaking traffic jam in some areas. Lots of booze, and lots of girls flashing their boobs for plastic beads, you've got to love a nice family afternoon with the kids going canoeing. I also came to another realization this past weekend. I'm not a huge fan of camping. I love the outdoors, and all the campfire/food stuff, but the whole no shower, everything gets damp, and the hot/humid conditions I can't get past. Man I'm turning into a wimp. Oh, well.
