The young women, all in their 20s, thought it would be easy to float down Muskegon River, in Michigan, on Tuesday but ended up getting lost along the river. They were forced to spend the next 20 hours huddled together in the cold, scared and yelling for help.
The women, who had never been tubing before, had been told by someone at the Maple Island Road Bridge that the river goes in a circle so they presumed they would come back to their car.
Muskegon Township Deputy Fire Chief Bob Grabinski said: ‘Not knowing anything, they set off on their little adventure’.
It was only when it started to get dark and their car was nowhere to be found that the women, who didn’t have a phone on them, decided to get out and wait for help on the riverbank.
The Fire Chief added: ‘They said they hugged a tree all night yelling for help.’
Eventually, a fisherman floating the river heard their cries for help and called 911. Firefighters found the women about a quarter of a mile downriver and apart from a few scratches, they were fine, Grabinski said.
He added: ‘In their words, they’re never going tubing again. My words are know the river or take someone with you who knows it and have a plan.’
Hey, the “lazy river” at the water park goes in a circle!
The memory of Idi Amin Dada remains strong with Ugandans. Feed quite a few enemies to crocs.
This thread is hilarious. Haven’t laughed so hard in a long time.
Rivers run in circles.
“Not knowing anything...”
Public school.
The sad thing is that due to Affirmative Action one of these geniuses could have a law degree and be FLOTUS 30 years from now.
City kidz. I’ve seen worse. Worse is when you don’t find the bodies until Spring.
Rivers that go in circles are lakes.
The fellows previous experience is with African rivers. So I understand why he has a fear of crocodiles and probably also snakes and hippos.
told by someone at the Maple Island Road Bridge that “the river goes in a circle”
...Snicker...snort!
Someday I’m using that line.
The 19th Amendment was a mistake.
>Rivers that go in circles are lakes.
Way too much work. They might lose some fat if they had to paddle in a lake.
and of course, freepers have never ever done anything silly or stupid in their lives, bless their little hearts..
Who do you think told them it ran in a circle?
I was on a military mission in Africa, asked my driver about his experience with malaria.
He told me about his story, and of course how everybody in his country gets malaria.
A couple days later he asks me about where I am from. I told him it is much like his country. Hot, humid, mosquitoes... He stopped me to ask why, if we had mosquitoes, I asked him about malaria. He could not understand that our mosquitoes don't carry malaria.
They put in way after the dams. I think this happened on the day before we went tubing last year on the Muskegon. They were all the talk among the tubers.
Just missed getting a Darwin Award. Shucks!
I bet they know all about Global Warming though.
Nobody brought their ObamaPhone?!!!
I just laughed so hard that it hurt a little bit. someone told them that the river runs in a circle. bwaaahahahaha and they believed it.
YOU WONT BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!!!
Weird, I pictured blondes on a serious Snapchat buzz
