So I'm coming out of a lower pool 2 backwater cut. Get waived down.

"Is this the main channel?"

"No, it's back there."

"Can ya pull me out?"

"Ya, where are you going?"

"Down!"

"Down? How far down?"

"All the way down!!!"

Good luck to ya!

If he gets past the first set of barge waves,...... he might have a chance.

Sweet rig! A few years ago on pool 11 I came a cross a big raft with a shack built on it. I idled by it and there were 2 hippie couples on it. They had 2 bikes rigged up for propulsion, clothes lines and had some plants in pots. The rig was very colorful and well built it seemed. I wish I would of got a picture but left the camera in the truck. They waived and seemed to be fairly content. Through out the summer I heard people talk about the raft and I never found out what happened to the magical raft ride. Dan

I saw 2 guys building a raft at the 494 access a couple years ago. They were bringing crap down and putting it all together in the turn around. Didnt a couple girls die trying to raft their way down? Couldnt get out of the way of a barge or something like that.

I gotta wonder how he's going to hit the lock instead of the rolling over or into the dam. Lots of chances to drown between Pool 2 and Pool 26! Seems more like suicide than adventure....

He didn't even make it to Lock 2 before Ramsey County picked him up. He was on shore and the "boat" was falling apart...
