Default Rapid River article

I'll have you know that I got out of my little dip in the Rapid on my own,
the only thing not intact was my pride.


My "WWFD" button fell off my vest while wading at the top of Second Current. I
bent over to pick it up. Once it was in my hand, I lost my balance and did a
Full Reid. Although the water was only two feet deep, I had a heck of a time
getting up. I put the button in a vest pocket and dried off as best I could.
On the very next cast, while stripping the line in, the button's pin stabbed me
in the left forearm. Deep, painfull and bloody.

It is now on the vest with a little piece of 200 mph tape holding the point in
place. Surprisingly, few people have asked me about its meaning, but those
that do get a two or three minute description of who and what a Frank Reid is.
