Three Michigan women on a tubing trip became
stranded overnight because they thought the river they were in ran in a
circle and would deposit them back at the place they started.

TWIN LAKE, MICHIGAN — A nice trip downriver turned nightmarish for
three women, who found themselves stranded after heeding some faulty
advice.
 
MLive reports that the three women, all Michigan residents, showed up at
the launch site near Maple Island Road bridge on Tuesday afternoon. It
was their first time tubing down the Muskegon River.
 
Someone near the bridge reportedly told the trio that the river runs in a
circle and would eventually bring them back to wherever they started.
 
Believing it would be a quick and easy trip, the women happily set off
around 4 p.m. Six hours later, they were still floating down the river.
With darkness setting in, the trio got out of the water and stayed near
the riverbank. With no water, food or phone to call for help, they
huddled around each other and yelled for help all night, according to
WZZM.
 
The next morning, the women went back into the water and were eventually
found by two fishermen just before noon. The fishermen called rescuers,
who escorted the ladies back to dry land.
 
All three women appeared to be fine save for some scratches and insect bites. 4951

@angelpie:
 
 
People with a very poor education, who had never been to a river before, but who have seen commercials for "lazy river" places where the fake river actually might go in a circle.  4951

So there was this "best way to cook bacon" link a FB friend had, figured i would check it out, you know, in case there was actually something new I haven't seen (Yea, right). It was the bacon in water trick.
But as I was reading it, I came across this.
Put your bacon in the pan
Put enough water in to cover your bacon
Turn heat on high
When you have less water than you started with, turn heat to medium
Cook bacon to desired doneness
 
I'll see how many of you catch that. 4951

Pretty scary stuff. Would hate to be lost on a river bank all night. Just the noises alone at night from the critters would give me nightmares for life. Definately bad kharma heading to the people that lied to them. 4500 drownings a year in the USA. People should not joke about stuff lile that.

@SwaggyG: Not the fault of the person making a joke that these three have no common sense and did no research on the activity they were participating in. If you ask a stupid question to a local they are going to give you a sarcastic response especially if the question is something you really should have known before you arrived or is just obvious(They either rented their tubes or bought them, if they rented them the company probably explained where they would be doing pickups at, if they bought them then they should have looked up how they were going to leave the river BEFORE they showed up, not just asked "somebody" once they got to the launch point as at that point the whole trip is over if they came in one vehicle) 4951

it seems there would be more to the story, I wonder why you would ask after you are already floating down the river 4951
