Dirt Mattressing?!?

...Explanation below...
So there's waterskiing, wakeboarding, tubing etc. And so what is dirt mattressing? Honestly I don't know if there is a name for what I did with a bunch of friends last night. So there was 10 of us who went in 2 cars and we tied a mattress on top of one of the cars and drove out to the Arizona Strip. When we got there we took this huge mattress and tied it behind the other car that is like a jeep but I don't know what kind of car it is. Anyways we tied this big mattress behind the car with one rope and cut holes into it so we could hold on while the car was dragging us on it. So we all took turns riding a mattress tied to the back of a car out in a dirty bumpy off roading area. We were covered in dirt and our mouths were full of dirt too. It was pretty nasty but worth it. And what was really cool is that 3 cops pulled up to see what we were doing because there was an armed robbery and looked to see if it was us. We were all freaked out because we thought we were in trouble but instead they just laughed at us since we were so disgusting and told us to just have fun. Pretty sweet! We didn't get in trouble. And for the final tow all of us except the driver jumped onto that thing and we went about 3 feet before the rope snapped.lol. So we decided we were done and we left the mattress there! haha. We hid it behind a hill! lol. Then we decided to go to a grocery store to get a soda or something and also to see peoples reaction. Some people laughed others stared. And the lady at the cash register said she wasn't even going to ask. lol. So anyways I unfortunately didn't think to take a camera with me to take shots of our craziness but we did get a group shot when we got back to the boys apartment. When I put this picture on my lap top I was bummed to see that a lot of the dirt on my face had come off on our way home since I was in the car with no top. I didn't look like a coal miner anymore but there was still some dirt on me.
P.S. Did any of that make sense?

oh my gosh, alyssa!! so crazy and fun! when i was at byu, me and a group of friends went exploring in these caves called "nutty putty caves" and literally it's a hole in the ground that you climb down and the caves are so small you have to crawl to get through, it's a massive maze underground! afterwards, we were soo dirty and went to denny's to eat in all our dirty clothes and faces and it was hilarious, we kept laughing at our reflections in the window because we looked like we were homeless! so fun, alyssa!

Oh my gosh, wow, everyone is so dirty that they look fake, like as in almost plastic. I am actually jealous of you for doing that. Sounds like you are having a great time too. I start school tomorrow, not looking forward to it...

Loved hearing from you. It sounds like Dixie is going well so far. College always has its emotional ups and downs at first, but you'll be in the swing of it soon. I can't believe how dirty everyone got AND that a cop didn't even care that you were doing that. I would for sure think I was busted. I miss those silly things in college. Enjoy it all!
