    Since I can't remember if I made myself work-available for the 3rd, I pick the 10th.

    I don't think the time choice is up to us, it's up to the outfitters.

    I looked at the sites a bit more, Butt's is expensive, River & Trail Outfitters includes shuttle and life vest but only lasts 2 1/2 hours.

    River Riders-
    21 or 26$$$ for Shenandoah flatwater
    21 or 26$$$for Potomac whitewater (price depends on tube type)
    or 39$$$ for an all day combo of both (deluxe no-rash tube)

    What's a "no-rash" tube?
    "How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

    A tube that doesn't give you a rash

    EVERYONE please look at the links that DB provided, we need to get our shot together. There are differences as far as the type of trips they provide and start times.
    Then we have to figger out carpooling.

    Then you can pick out your cute little outfits

    I would lean toward whitewater tubing with either River and Trail or Butts. But I can be content with floating along on flat water also.

    I'll be doing a no-rash PVC tube and think that whitewater would be fun, but other than that I'm wide open and will go along with whoever has the strongest preference on outfitter/start-time/water-type/etc.

    And I noticed that one of the outfitters does recommend wearing quick-dry t-shirt and shorts over your bathing suit.

    So, August 10th?

    Some people say you only live once. I'd like to believe otherwise and since I have no proof (yet) I say throw me in some whitewater.

    Does that narrow it down any?
