    Those of us who rode near Harper's Ferry last week saw exactly what constitutes whitewater on that section of the Potomac. What'd you ladies think? I might hesitate to kayak parts of it, but I'd bet that a big, bouncy tube would handle it just fine. Just save the drinks for slow sections or for when you pull up and climb out on a nice rock.

    Will we have a floating cooler with us? Cool!

    I think white water is infinitely more fun looking than a lazy susan down the river.
    Thanks TE! You pushed me half way over!

    This option sounds good.

    We seem to have seven definites (db, MDHS, f8th, Kali, vb, 7, Zen). If we get three more TE'ers or significant others, then we could qualify for a discount of $3 per person which would more than cover the price of a Cool Float floating cooler!

    Weekends 6/30/07-9/3/07: departures every half hour on the :45 and :15 from 10:45-2:45. What time sounds good?
