9 years old, exploring the drops of South Dakota, and having a run in with the law! by Will Richardson | Sep 13, 2005 | Whitewater | 0 comments 9 years old, exploring the drops of South Dakota, and having a run in with the law! September 13, 2005 Check out the latest from Team JK’s 9 year old Lauren. Dear Eric, My Mom and Dad and I were passing through South Dakota and we found some whitewater at Big Sioux River at Sioux Falls Park in South Dakota from AW website. My Dad & I did the only right thing to do. He scouted the drops and I got dressed and grabbed our stuff. We did a few drops and it was alot of fun. The park is very cool with alot of rock formations and walk ways and people everywhere. The drops were alot of fun and I really liked the slide we did. We were done running all the fun parts and then we heard alot of sirens, 3 firetrucks, an ambulance and 4 police cars showed up. We thought someone was hurt but quickly realized it was all for us after we were asked to get out of our boats and come up to the grass. The police officers and fireman had to check to read the City Ordinance to see if it said anything about no boats. Dad had already checked the city ordinance and looked everywhere for signs showing no boats but there weren’t any. They said we didn’t violate any laws that they could tell and that it was just that someone from a cell phone watching us had called them. We were told if we wanted to run it we would need to get out above the Falls and stay out of the park area. We had alot of fun. BAD BOYS! BAD BOYS! WHACHA GONNA DO WHACHA GONNA DO WHEN THEY COME FOR YOU. Lauren Burress 🙂 Submit a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
