These folks glided down Rock Creek on Saturday, July 7, 2018. They are shown passing Annan Mill. The group “exited the creek down by Fairway Drive, by what is now the Dog Park. They walked around the dog park and over the hill towards Waterworks Park, carrying their rafts,” stated an observer.

Donovan noted “a lot of prepping to prepare for this excursion. [Cody Emery]…did much better clearing a path this year.”
Emery commented, “Ten years of this excursion; now we’re famous.”
“This was my first year,” exclaimed Brooke Carlson, “and it was such a great time! I am already looking forward to next year!”
Deyo stated, “It was my first year going, and it was an absolute blast! Such a great group of people made it ten times better, also!”
Mcevoy agreed, “It definitely was a fun day!”
“Cruising Down the River” was a top song in mid-1940. Click here for a vintage vocal rendition.
Deyo submitted this pre-float group photo of 21 individuals, taken by Rodney Mills. It includes his wife and granddaughter, who did not raft.
