    August 2: db, Kali, vb
    August 3: db, MDHS, f8th, Kali, vb, 7 (maybe)
    August 9: db, MDHS, f8th, Kali
    August 10: db, MDHS, f8th, Kali, vb, 7 (maybe)
    August 16: db, f8th, vb
    August 17: db, f8th, vb
    August 23: db, Kali, vb
    August 24: db, Kali, vb

    I think the 3rd and the 10th would be better for us (i.e., earlier in the month), as I do need to be around for some appointments within the first 2 weeks. So...I'm pretty confident I can put in those dates, at least.

    Mad? You in?

    I looked at the three sites and if I looked correctly it appears that Butts is the best deal.
    Mebbe I'll give them a second look to make sure.
    Anyone else look at them yet?

    Yay.
    Not going to CT until late in the month, for an extra long holiday weekend (Labor Day).
    So, any of these weekends should work for us.
    Is this an afternoon thing, or a morning thing? Preferences (p.m. for me)?

    I don't think we've gotten that far yet, but I'd say meeting in late morning or noonish would be good. Don't want to get up and rush about on a Sunday morning.

    It looks like we've got a quorum, so we need to pick between August 3 and 10. Doesn't matter to me, so I'll let someone who cares speak up.

    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)

    I've never tubed and I know nothing about the logistics and details so I'll leave the choice of outfitter to those in the know.

    Is the 10th our final answer? I'm definitely in for the 10th or 3rd. Nothing gonna stop me this time!

    BTW I'll probably wear my tri top and shorts.
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    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?

    How rough is the white water? I'm old---don't know if I'm up for that kind of excitement.

    I read some of those links....they said Class 1-2, which is a bit more than "moving water" but basically beginner stuff...nothing crazy that you can't handle while sitting in an inner tube sipping a brew, I would imagine. Well, you might spill a bit of your drink....

    OK, you've reassured the Big Baby.
