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

[divingbiker]

Just in case anyone missed it, River Riders does not allow alcohol.

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

I find it amusing that their site describes this as "the trip of choice for the 18-30 year old crowd"

EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS

Well, yeah, that too. I am not going to spend a day on the river without a beer, legal or not.

Zen, your link to what we should read doesn't work.

How did you continue after the tube burst?
Were you with an outfitter?

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.

1:15 on the 10th for a 2 hour trip (approx) sounds good in this household.

Sounds good here, too. Hopefully we can do some carpooling.

Your entire life?
I wish I could be so organized.

my sigg will take all sorts of beverages.

But you don't want to lose it the river, do you?
I'll wait till after for my adult beverage.

You're such a conformist.

I didn't know tubing was popular elsewhere (naive Texan thinks we are the only ones that matter- haha).

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...

[Kalidurga]

I'm sure Zen's buddies from under the bridge by the library could offer you all sorts of tips for disguising your alcohol. Maybe she really should invite them along...

I've never been called that before

Naw, I just figure I do enough stupid things without alcohol. This way if I do something stupid I know it's all me and not the beer.
