As some of us paddled down the Delaware (while others of us drank, smoked and dragged their legs in the water) Rushin sighted an island. From about a quarter mile away, this island seemed like a good place to stop. The trouble was those rocks (pictured). When you are not wearing shoes, they really hurt to walk on. Sometimes, you fall. And for about 100 yards around the island, the water is very shallow and the raft can't sail over these rocks, so one must get out of the raft and walk to the island (which also consists of these rocks). But it was Rushin's birthday and he had no shoes, so he demanded that people with shoes pull him in the raft over the rocks to the island. Rick said we had to do what Rushin wanted because it was Rushin's birthday.
Some people gave up and crawled to the island. Crawling on the rocks was not a big improvement versus walking on them. This island exploration trip took about an hour and our raft was more than an hour late for the pick up bus.
But Rick did eventually stop crawling and drag Rushin, in the raft, to this island. This island is known as the Isle of Rushin.

I would like to mention that sandals have been around pretty much since the dawn of civilization. Mainly because even cavemen knew that walking on rocks in bare feet hurts.
Too bad Rushin didn't pick a nicer spot for his kingdom.
