Rafting on the Juniata River 2006

This past weekend 74 fathers & sons traveled the Juniata River in homemade rafts. Our goal was to spend time with our sons in the outdoors, creating memories and learning to know them better. However, my 9-year old spent most of the time on the river swimming or on inner tubes like this one while my preferred place was on the raft! We took our neighbers, the Bergs, along as guests. It was a rough-and-tough father-son weekend and the boys loved it!

We even had a visit from the PA Game Commission to check if we had one life-vest per person. Thankfully, most of us did. The $70/person fines for those who were short was a test of character and submission to authority, for sure!
