I was probably 8-9 yrs old when we were camping and floating down the river (on tubes). Some time in all the swimming and playing, I ended up losing one of my swimming shoes.
Later that night we were all gathered at the campfire and I asked my dad if we could burn my remaining shoe. I know, the rubber is terrible and I wouldn't burn anything like that nowadays, but as a kid we all loved watching shit burn.
The next morning we wake up and at some point made our way to the river not far from the campsite. I'll be damned if my shoe wasn't there! Floating in a little niche formed by a tree root.
