Red River

June 14-21 When I got a call from one of my best friends in high school about needing a partner for some crazy adventure, I was all in. I didn't realize at the time that we needed to be crazy to attempt something like paddling 275miles down what can be loosely termed a river. I say this because this was almost too viscus to be called a river, more red clay than actual water. The best part of the planning was choosing to go in the middle of the summer. It was quite amusing to hear how "unseasonably" hot the 100+ degree days were. I promise I'm not as much of an alcoholic as I sound in these videos. The interview at the beginning of the second video is awesome, but pretty boring, so skip to 3:00 where we get back to the adventure. Hope you enjoy.
