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 knew what you were talking about, and I’m from the city. It’s not suuuper popular but people do it. I’m in eastern PA. I did one when I was a kid.
I live near the river now, and there’s trips organized and people probably float down on their own. I just go for a swim. Too much sun, otherwise.
