Mad is coming.
I saw some guys sitting under the bridge by the library...Quote:

You will all have a blast! Wish I could join but the next 5 or 6 weeks are just a bit crazy for me.
How did you continue after the tube burst?
Were you with an outfitter?
Just in case anyone missed it, River Riders does not allow alcohol. I don't remember on which page, but I saw somewhere on their site that it's due partially to their liability and partially to the proximity to Harper's Ferry National Park.Quote:

I think they have to say that. But if we use those little styrofoam things around the cans, no one will be the wiser.Quote:

EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS
Well, yeah, that too.:D:D I am not going to spend a day on the river without a beer, legal or not.Quote:

we had just started, so my niece and i walked back and got me a new one. and yes, we were with Butts Tubes. my nephew, who passed away a couple years later, went to college in shepherdstown, and i believe it was his recommendation to go with them.Quote:

To skirt the alcohol you can : pour into water bottles (if you are drinking something like Smirnoff) or tea for beer, spike Gatorade, or put colored drinks in Gatorade bottles. Many beer cans look like silver diet coke when put in a koozie. Many of my favorites don't come in cans and glass is prohibited, so I must improvise. And now that I have added my $.02 to your deliquency, I will go back to my own region. ;)
AggieAma, my favorite memory from my year in Texas was tubing on the Guadalupe River! It was almost 30 years ago, and my memory is cloudy, but I clearly remember there was lots of beer involved. Thanks for the subversive tips...Quote:

I've never been called that before :rolleyes:Quote:

And yes my ENTIRE life will be determined by this tubing event.
Now THAT is a scary thought....Quote:

Oh yes, I'm pretty sure he's coming. It's basically one of those "If I say we're going, we're going" kinds of things. :p I'll let him know and then send in my dinero. ;)
ETA: I agree with Mad, thanks so much, ladies! I'm definitely NOT a planner type.
Feel free to tack on a gratuity.
Yay! Paypal works! There's $52 in my account from MDHS. Very slick. This is the first time I've ever been on the receiving end with Paypal, usually I'm spending.
I always tack on a little extra when it comes to PayPal because they like to charge you fees for using their service to receive money. :DQuote:
