Serious question. I had a friend born and raised near Seattle who I invited to come on a float trip in southeast Missouri. Her mind was blown that this is a thing people do - drinking and making a ruckus while floating down a river.
In MO, this is just a thing that people do. At least in rural areas. I had no idea it was regional. So, how far across this region does the concept of float trips go?
I live in Indiana and used to live on a river in between two lakes. We would drive down and leave a car at the end of the river, then drive back up to the top and float down all day.
