Description

Join us this week as we follow two friends down the Colorado River. When they have limited funds to kayak or raft the river like most - Bill Beer and John Daggett decide to swim it instead. The guys are having the adventure of their lives - all while the Park Service has issued a massive rescue mission to find them. In their words, this is a cheap vacation that got a little out of hand. 

We love our National Parks and we know you do too but when you're out there, remember to enjoy the view but watch your back.
