Tubing nightmare: Women thought river went in circle
Michigan Live ^ | 7/15/16 | afsnco

MUSKEGON COUNTY, MI – They left for what they thought would be an easy float down Muskegon River Tuesday afternoon – but ended up spending the night on the river bank, scared and yelling for help.

The trio of young women were rescued 20 hours later after a fisherman eventually heard their cries, said Muskegon Township Deputy Fire Chief Bob Grabinski.

The women, all in their 20s, had never been tubing before and decided it would be a fun thing to do, Grabinski said. So they bought some tubes and headed to the popular launch site at the Maple Island Road bridge, Grabinski said.

"They were informed by somebody at the bridge that the river goes in a circle and if they put in there they would come back to their car," he said. "Not knowing anything, they set off on their little adventure."

The live and breathe the same air we do. I find that equally terrifying.

I believe in mercy killing.

“Not knowing anything”

There’s the key.

No bug juice. No map. No phone.

Would they walk in a city they did not know so unprepared?

It shows how pampered and protected these women’s lives have been.

If our society is so “racist”, how can this be?

I think "somebody" was laughing it up at the bar later on.

Not in that area.

Unless of course the phone is under water.

It must have taken some BIG inner-tubes to float this trio. Monster truck? Front-end loader tubes?

I almost had a friend's girlfriend convinced that I had purchased a "120mm Rheinmetall smoothbore" at a gun show. After several hours of texting, I finally got a message that went something like "Holy $#!+!!!! That's a #$^!(*& TANK!!!!!"

Google is our friend ...

We are all ignorant, just about different things. These women are guilty of only gullibility.

Think of the stereotype of the country kids new in a city.

I admit that this is a rather extreme case, kind of like the person attempting to sit their toddler on the friendly buffalo bull in Yellowstone.

It’s hard enough to keep water out of your beer when tubing let alone keep a phone dry.

Finally proven! A circular river of women believing free energy will move them distances and bring them back to the same spot.
