JHimick, you're right, that was a little bit over the line. I appologize. I've been posting here to try to generate some interest and I've received some. I've just been infuriated by the number of people attack the concept for their own ammusement.

The attacks are a bit harsh, but there has been plenty of civilized attempts to warn you of the obvious risks, and you just dismiss them.
-hypothermia
-hot rubber
-dangerous rocks and debris
-excessive drinking while paddling (increases risk of hypothermia, dehydration, and weakens ability to navigate hard sections)
I could go on, but I feel like those alone would be enough to stop any sane person from doing such a thing. So continuing to push for this in fact makes you look insane.
If continuing to move forward doesn't make you look insane enough, your obnoxious rebuttals only make you look worse.
If you want to make this happen it is certainly your prerogative, but being obnoxious about it only makes you look like a fool. Did you expect that everyone here would just jump on board? I mean you are doing something that is out of realm of morals and normalcy for the majority of the country. Of course you are going to have a backlash, what did you expect?
One final note, wasn't your last attempt shut down due to rangers or something seeing your posts on this very forum? Why would you do it on here again?
And just my two cents, if your girlfriend is the one in the pic in your profile... enjoy bud, I don't think any of us are gonna fight you for her.
