furherevynnI totally got to go canoeing today! For the first time EVARRRRR!
It was quite enjoyable. I did not even get wet (..the other students did, though. xD They fell in. One girls bag ended up floating downstream, so she jumped and floated down to get it. A guy pulled her out of the water xD)
~~EDIT~~
So, here's some more info on the trip. We started at an entry point along the highway. There were 5 canoes, and my canoe was the "tail" of the canoes, so me and the guy I was with (one of the water keepers) were to stay behind the rest of everyone to make sure no one got stuck or turned over. We traveled about 3 miles down stream. Twas fun. The water wasn't that deep except in some places, and the water keeper I was with taught me some interesting things about the river and the bluffs along the side. Oh, and this river is along many coal mines. I found chunks of coal that I decided to take home.
