First hot day, first ‘idiots on the river’ story
Email This Post
It never fails. I’ve been working in the news business for about seven years now (I write for a TV station’s website) and I know that the first hot day we get I’ll be writing a story about dumb people nearly drowning themselves.
On Thursday, with temperatures in the high 80s, it was four guys who decided to go rafting on the Sandy River without their life vests on. Why no life vests? They told our reporter they didn’t think it was a big deal… that they could just throw them on if they got into trouble.
So what happens? Their raft capsizes, in the ensuing chaos they don’t have time to get their life vests on and they nearly drown in the freezing cold Sandy River. Read the story…
The mercury’s expected to hit 88 degrees on Thursday and 94 degrees on Friday,
Follow our adventure as we work toward making our dream of becoming full-time RVers a reality!
