Fluming

My neighbors invited us to go fluming. Dean was working so I brought my friend Andrea along. I had heard about the flume from some of the high school kids and it sounded fun, juvenile but fun. For starters it's illegal, normally I'm not into breaking the law but there were no fences or signs so how was I to know it was really illegal? Andrea and I had both heard about it from several people and they told us it was fun, or scary, or dangerous but its weird how NO ONE mentioned walking back on that thin rickety wood plank on a 60 foot bridge; that will be the first thing I'll tell people about. 
You float down the flume like a water slide no tube or anything. It goes fast and its pretty fun but I will probably leave it to the high school kids from now on. At least I'll know what my kids are talking about when they slip and tell me they went there. I am really glad I went I'm continually amazed at the cool things I live by and how beautiful this area is.

Lindsey, I'm the same way! Why in the h does nobody mention those wobbly 2x10's? It blows my mind.
