Anyhoo, Sweet and I had a nice breakfast together of leftover pizza and coffee. I made my coffee from the Folger’s singles that I found at Safeway. Best invention ever! I just heated water in my tea kettle and then steeped it in my old covered mug I use in the car for traveling. FAB!! Then once it was brewed, I poured the resulting sweet nectar of morn into the camping coffee cups. Magda and Jeremy went to the showers and their son and his girlfriend took Memphis for a walk because he wasn’t feeling too good. May have been all the Cheezits that I gave him last night. Ooopsie!
Once everyone was back at camp we inflated our rafts. Fun right? Once the rafts were filled, I sat down because I was getting a head ache with all the plans to get the cars where they were going to be, or which entry area, blah, blah, blah. I opened a Fat Tire and picked up girlfriends US weekly. OK the plan!
Jeremy and his son will take their suv’s to the Swinging bridge and then he and son will take the other truck to the raft opening. We are taking Sweet’s truck to the Curry village parking lot and then we will meet at the opening. Magda will wait with Girlfriend at the opening so when we walk up, we will know where the opening is at.So Sweet and I carried our raft from the parking lot and met Magda and Girlfriend there to wait for Jeremy and Son.
We all get in our rafts and our journey begins. I was so excited because I have been raft floating down the Sacramento river and this was Yosemite right? As I have said before, from the time Sweet and I met right up to now, we have gained 20 LB’s or so each. With this trip, we had to pose the question: Can you put two fatties in a raft that was meant for one person?
Answer: You can’t
That raft trip was so comical, their were times Sweet got out to pull me and the raft dragged the bottom because the water was so low in areas that we weren’t going anywhere and my Bum felt it. Magda and Jeremy were having the same problem because they had a two person raft but they had the ice chest in theirs. Son and girlfriend (the young skinny bitches) had Memphis (82 pound Black Lab) in their raft. We all had trouble. It certainly was an adventure! Trying to get in and out of the raft when the water was low, trying to get in when water high and the water was flowing. At one point I fell in because Sweet was trying to help me out of the raft and let me just say, one foot in and one foot out. Splits! I can’t stop giggling to which this is frustrating him and I ask “Did anyone see me?” to which he replied “Everyone saw” Then he smiled. Sheesh~
It reminded me of watching a movie! I may put that experience in a book someday, hmmm. Halfway through I wanted to know how much longer. Yep, I actually asked. We finally made it to the beach (which the wind had kicked up and the sand was stinging our legs) and had a few beers. Then all the girls climbed up to the closest path and walked the rest of the way to the swinging bridge and the guys floated the rest of the way.
The plan worked and we were all loaded into the vehicles with a wet dog and made our way back. So finally back at camp, we showered and changed to get ready to eat. Today’s cocktails were vodka crans with lime. Mmmmm..
The final night’s menu was Chili cheese dogs and the rest of the salad. Oh so good! Then of course the smores!! Good times!!! We sat around after that and talked and enjoyed the company. The moon was shining, and then I went to bed. I was so tired.
