Two Saturdays ago, four of us guys from church went on an trip usually more associated with younger boys, more the likes of the title of this post. Friends Joe and Nate had built a raft last summer, and I and another friend, Rob, got to join them for the last trip of the summer down the Grand River on an overnight jaunt. This raft does not resemble anything of what Tom or Huck would have traveled on. Nate has a business where he gets sheets of styrofoam in bulk, and after glueing together large slabs, they sheathed it in plywood and 2x4's, and then built a counter and upper platform. It's unsinkable, and to un-experienced rafters not too bad to maneuvre.
It was a great evening, the best spot being seated in a chair up on the "upper deck", peacefully floating down the river.
