Serious question. I had a friend born and raised near Seattle who I invited to come on a float trip in southeast Missouri. Her mind was blown that this is a thing people do - drinking and making a ruckus while floating down a river.
In MO, this is just a thing that people do. At least in rural areas. I had no idea it was regional. So, how far across this region does the concept of float trips go?
In IA. I’ve heard it called tubing, I’ve also heard it not called a name, just “take some tubes”.
I’ve never heard float trip, but we do it.
