re: #301 notutopia

We actually did this is New Orleans on the East bank levees in the summertime.We’d lube grease the truck tubes and push off on the very top of the slope and slide into the Mississippi River. It was great fun…kept us busy and cool all summer!

We used to slide down the New Orleans west bank levees (a block from the house) on flatened cardboard boxes. But swimming in the Mississippi? Are you crazy? It’s the sewer for half the country.
