John v. Jacket
So I went on this float trip last weekend. It was epic in that "you had to be there" way - I mean, I could say WHISKEY TRAAAAAAIN! and it wouldn't make you laugh, would it?
At one point John got the zipper stuck on Megan's jacket and we tried to get it off, and this was just about the funniest thing ever, but I dunno if it'd make you laugh either. But really, it should, because man was that jacket stuck!
So I'll say this: the John Day River in Central Oregon is gorgeous and perfect for a long weekend float trip with 11 friends, 2 cases of beer, a gallon of whiskey, a jug of wine, a fully loaded oatmeal breakfast bar, a bag of Ring Pops, 2 oar rig rafts, an inflatable kayak, and a capsizing-prone canoe. It was good to get outside, good to sleep under the stars, good to laugh with friends, good to get some sun, good to smell burning sage around the campfire, good to forget everything but the good times for a weekend.
