    Default "Six Mile Creek" Class-V rafting accident after trooper warning

    If someone can bring up the story in the: Anchorage Daily News today, about Six Mile Creek rafting crash.

    At least they admit they screwed up, and should have listened to the State Trooper & Rafting Professionals. It is interesting how they talk about the herd mentality, and they allowed the groups enthusiasm over rule their judgment.

    Good article, and photos.

    some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"

    Man, it's fortunate he didn't choose the name SourTastingDough. Those initials would be bad.

    They're lucky no one else was hurt while trying to rescue them.
