We get to this one part that's fairly narrow, with a tree on one side, and about a five and a half foot bank down to the river... and unlucky me, I didn't make it. The following is for your amusement.

It's a good thing I was riding with a group, or I don't know how the hell I would have made it out of there. Getting up the bank wouldn't have been a huge problem, but simply standing up was almost impossible. My feet were above my butt, and I couldn't put my hands down to push myself up because they would just sink two feet into the muck.

This is the only guy that would come down to get me.

They had to form a chain of about three people to pull me up.

Out of the 30 or so people I was riding with, I was the only one that fell in. All in all, it was probably the best ride I've ever been on.
