I took a short walk along the Greenbelt in Julia Davis Park. I wanted to see the river traffic.
But look! There’s a designated smoking area in Julia Davis Park. Apparently the guy I came across smoking outside of the designated smoking area was not aware of this/does not care. I did not tell him.
There were a lot of people on the river.
I was hoping for some bridge jumpers, but this isn’t the best place to jump and so there were no takers. But I wasn’t the only one seeing how many people were floating.
There are places to pull out of the river and hang for awhile. One of them is right near the bridge I was standing on.
A certain brother of mine does not like all the new rules and regulations.
I wandered into the water and so did this friendly fella. He wanted me to throw something, but I just chatted at him.
In the river!
It’s pretty shallow here. If I were floating this would be a BU, FU part. (Butts up, feet up)
It’s a very good way to spend the afternoon.
Here are the pictures I got from the bridge. I’m partial to the individual tube, rather than the raft, as you get to actually be in the water. I also noticed that while we used actual tire inner tubes back in the day, everyone I saw today has tubes manufactured for the purpose of floating.
That looks like a nice park, although I find it weird that there's a designated smoking area. I can't say that I've seen a lot of smokers hanging out in parks around here. That's a cute doggie.
I love the floats collage. Real inner tubes are the way to go. 🙂 Though, truthfully, I was not a huge fan of floating the river in actuality. Perhaps the summers away thing is the explanation. I also don't like feeling so much out of control, which I always did in the 'too fast" spots! That's where I fell out of my tube once.
