Memorable moments on the Suwannee By Jon Adkins


One of the main memorable moments that I had while I was on the Suwannee is the day that I paddled over twenty miles by myself in a canoe. One of the parts that made it more memorable is that I tied two canoe paddles together and made a make-shift kayak paddle. That made it go by a lot faster than it would have if I just used a single paddle.
            Another memorable moment that I had on the Suwannee was on the third to last day where we stopped for lunch on the river where there was a rope swing. The main part that made it more memorable for me was that Sophie had her camera and was taking pictures of us jumping off the rope swing. The part that I remember the most is the picture of Chris that was of him in a ninja position in the air. It was very funny to see.
            The final memorable moment that I had was when we were at the Lafayette Blue Spring and was when Aaron, Alec, Chris and I were asked by the camp host to bring an aluminum framed park bench up a flight of stairs and couldn’t do it because of the heaviness of the bench and the width of the stair well. However all we could do was the all wood bench (which by the camp host was thought to be heavier than the aluminum framed one). We got that one up the stairs in no time and even got a bit of time to talk to her and got to go on a private porch that only the camp hosts get to go on.
            In conclusion there were many moments while I was on the Suwannee River that I will remember always with the Rebel Tribe.
