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?

I’ve done sorta this in OhIo, but never with anyone who wants the ruckus part 😭 It’s been fun nonetheless
Tubing the kish(waukee river) is what we called it. We once strapped a keg in inner tubed and floated with a tap. I got so drunk I lost the only hat I’ve ever loved…
We just called it tubing in Wisconsin.
I’ve never been on one, but I can say that in KCMO, STL, and Rolla they’re pretty well known. I’ve worked at companies which have sponsored float trips before.
