Surviving the Storm

 


Boston has been wanting to float the Provo River before Summer ends and he leaves to Brazil on his mission #depressing so this last Saturday morning me, Noah, Boston, Hudson, London, and Kaydence bought tubes, piled into 2 cars, and headed up the canyon. We tried to leave early to beat a storm that was supposed to come at 3pm. It was freezing. Like toes and bums were numb and I wouldn’t have been phased if blocks of ice started bobbing up in the river. But it was fun and beautiful and going according to plan until the last 30 seconds as we were trying to get out of the river. 

The storm came early and storm is probably an understatement. It was like a real live hurricane. You couldn’t even see 5 ft in front of you. Half of us hid in a pitch black men’s bathroom while Noah and Boston went to get the cars. It was chaotic and crazy but we survived! 

We got in-n-out for lunch and jumped in the pool/ hot tub at Noah’s parents house to warm up. But there was lightning so that was short lived. We saunaed instead. Good times!


My lips are blue in every picture because thats how cold it was.



We went back for two of the lost tubes later in the day and they were still there! Lucky us
