TE DC Event--Tubing in Harper's Ferry, WV

**divingbiker** · 07-14-2008, 04:09 AM

Several of us who were riding on the C&O Canal on Saturday decided it would be fun to spend a day tubing at Harper's Ferry. So let's do! This is open to anyone who would like to join us, and I'd say family members are welcome, too, unless someone has an objection.

First, we have to pick a date, then whether we want to do flat water or white water, and then an outfitter. It will cost somewhere around $25-30, plus the rental of a cooler (or a tube for our cooler) if we wish.

Here are some choices:

River Riders
River and Trail Outfitters
Butts Tubes

If you're interested, please note which Saturday or Sunday in August would work for you. Let's see if this will work: Cut and paste the list below and add your preferences, so everyone's choices are on the same list.

August 2: db
August 3: db
August 9: db
August 10: db
August 16: db
August 17: db
August 23: db
August 24: db

Sounds like fun! If we did it on Sunday 8/3 I might be able to bring DP and DD (DS doesn't like water much).

Thus far this is what our availability looks like. I'm sure my husband would gladly come as long as he isn't the only dude. :P

I may have to pass on this, we'll see.

**divingbiker** · 07-14-2008, 05:13 PM

OK, how about this...How about we keep the trip to "just the girls"? I'm having a bit of trepidation about floating around in my swimsuit all day with husbands along...

I've invited my neighbor to join us, too.

Don't worry, DB, he only has eyes for me.

But ok, it can be a girls only thing too. :P

**Kalidurga** · 07-14-2008, 05:36 PM

I don't own a bathing suit, I'll be tubing in quick-dry shorts and shirt.

No Tom????

He was really up for this when I mentioned it to him.

He's harmless.

Regardless....I have to head up to CT for a week sometime in August. Not sure when all this will go down, so I can't commit for a while yet.

**Velobambina** · 07-15-2008, 01:35 AM

If the husbands are welcome, I might join you and bring my sweetie.

So far, the only date that won't work for me is Saturday, 9 Aug.

I wonder if my goldens would enjoy it?

Just kidding but it would be great if they had canine tubes!!!

**divingbiker** · 07-15-2008, 01:46 AM

You know what? I don't give a crap if husbands are along or not! So please, invite them. The more the merrier!

**Zen** · 07-15-2008, 08:52 AM

Yeah but they have to wear this

**F8th637** · 07-15-2008, 09:00 AM

Be careful what you wish for, Zen.

**Velobambina** · 07-16-2008, 01:43 AM

And Zen will wear the white bikini, no?

I probably won't wear a swim suit either. Kali, I'll likely be dressed like you---quick dry shorts and a t-shirt. Like 7's Tom, my Brian would love to come (don't worry, he's a intellectual nerd and harmless).

Zen, what's your availability? And we'll hear from 7 when her plans firm up.

Any other midAtlantic folks who'd like to join us?

So far it looks like August 3 or 10.
