Paluxy River, Glen Rose, Texas

1. Choose a rock that is round and smooth.

2. Stand at the edge of a calm body of water.

3. Hold the rock horizontally, with your index finger curling around the  flat edge that faces down.

4. Aim the rock a few inches above the water.

5. Throw the rock with a sidearm, so that your hand moves past your waist giving it the magical spin as the rock leaves your hand.

6. Count how many times the rock jumps across the water.

About the author

Autumn Carpenter
While navigating the carpool lane and translating toddler conversations might not rank high on some adventure life lists, I happily include those accomplishments alongside skydiving, dodging Pamplonian bulls and surviving three-hour Vinyasa yoga classes. I look for the story in everyday situations, and convey them easily in both print and online mediums. I’m also SEO-friendly ghostblogger, web content writer and copywriter. Let’s collaborate on a project today!
