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?
We just called it tubing in Wisconsin.
I’ve done sorta this in OhIo, but never with anyone who wants the ruckus part 😭 It’s been fun nonetheless
I’ve always understood a float trip to be a large group of people going down rivers in rafts or canoes while consuming large amounts of alcohol. I haven’t been on one since 2010 and honestly it’s not my thing.
