Tragedy...

So the weekend was pretty eventful. Even though I had a pissy attitude going into it, being around friends was a surprisingly nice escape. Friday consisted of a campfire and a bottle of champagne and Saturday we went wine tasting in TC. Sunday we decided to continue the drinking theme and went tubing in the Manistee River. We saw some crazy shit. Snakes, turtles, bugs and a guy that died... No shitting... On the get away that was supposed to help us forget about sad things... Click here to read the story... Fucked up shit! Seriously... We were floating down the river with our beverages and approach this group of people along the river doing a little zip cording into the river like this...

At first glance, this looked awesome... Then a obviously skilled, but drunk group member attempted this and did a head first flip into the rushing water. We noticed that he had never surfaced, but his group of friends did not seem concerned because apparently he was a very skilled swimmer and they thought he was playing a prank. It was no prank... This man bobbed up to the surface for a moment and that was the last he was seen as of yet. We scoured the river, but we were unable to find him. We had no phone so it took quite sometime to contact 911... This was a horrible tragedy to observe and I wish we would have reacted more quickly. We may have been able to help in some way... His name was Bob and he was 33 years old. I hope that his family is going to be okay through this senseless event.
