Come on guys. AOL has made great strides in recent years to make sure
there are sufficient boatramps to ingress egress the river. Sure, it took
the entire rafting community joining together to convince them this was in
their best interest but, they caught on.
And with their aquisition of "I sink You", we can even send distress
messages to each other although in class 4 rapids, I doubt if we'll have
time prior to seeing the blue screen of death.
