I picked up my buddy one afternoon to go jump shoot sqealers on a creek east of Deville La. Had brothers 3 wheeler in the truck to ride on, got to the spot and had water running over the bridge. Put on our waders (mine chest, buddy hips) and proceed to try and drive across the bridge. I ended up running off of the bridge and turning the bike upside down. Buddy was holding on to me for dear life when I let go. Water was cold as *ELL which is probably what saved me. When I finally got my buddy off on my shoulders, I was able to find bottom and kick for all I was worth. Made it to the surface and he grabbed my new 870 and pulled me to the bank.
Moral to this story is....NEVER TRY TO RIDE ACROSS A BRIDGE IF IT HAS WATER RUNNING ACROSS IT!!
Guess the man did not want me that day.
