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."

“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,”
I know messing with blondes is fun people, but come on!
It goes in a circle and it’s downstream all the way, so you won’t need to paddle much.
I stand corrected !!
I convinced (years apart) TWO different girlfriends that the Washington Monument could be rotated by motors.
And one of them was her high school’s valedictorian.
There are so many things liberals should not be allowed to do.
3 miles in 20 hours? Wow, I went just over twenty miles with my brother and a friend at the tender age of 13/14 with no adult supervision in just two days. And I didn’t think rivers went in circles; actually used a map so I knew where my Dad could drop us off, roughly how long it would take, and where we could be extracted at a location with a pay phone. Did get pretty severe sunburn though, and learned that even in the summer it can be chilly sleeping on the river bank in just swim trunks.
The absolute best part of the story...
“No one reported the women missing...”
Can’t imagine why.
Adjust for brain cleaning. Hard to believe that none had cell phones. Howya gonna take selfies? Get on FB, twitter, snapchat and all?
You silver-tounged devil!
Getting a signal might have been tough.
It’s a good thing they didn’t try that in lake Michigan. They’d be in Wisconsin by now. Or playing that Great Lakes favorite game “Freighter tag”.
