A local guy from Moab, Utah was ready to turn himself in for a warrant in Colorado.  The jail he would spend time in was near the same river that ran through his hometown of Moab.  He brought his kayak with him and planned to float home after his jail time was up.  As he approached the jail, the call of the river and the "nice day" simply won out, and he floated right past the jail.  Downstream that day and the next were two permitted stretches of river, Ruby Horsethief and West Water, and he did not have nor want the permits for either.  He grew up on this river.  That didn't matter to the beauracratic systems in place and his actions invited the River Rangers and state law enforcement to track him down.  This short story gives the details and hears how this human loves this river.
