Only In Wisconsin: Man Turns Flooded Backyard Into 'Lazy River'

BARRON COUNTY, WI —

According to a WQOW report out of Barron, local resident Randy Spiehs had been shoveling out walking paths for his dogs all winter through the snow.

When the rains came and the snow started melting en masse, Spiehs saw fit to blow up the family's inner tube, don a short-sleeve shirt, some shorts, and float along his very own lazy river.

"So I've been snow blowing paths for the past couple months," he told WTMJ Friday morning. "[Thursday] I was looking into the backyard and told my wife it looks like we have a lazy river, and I said, 'I should go blow up an inner tube.'"
