Water and sweat-proof, this time! I was a stupid (and a bit hungover) college student the last time around with some cheap out-of-date sunscreen that I sweated off within 30 minutes and spent the rest of the day crisping up nicely.

I mentioned this to Sammi this morning and her eyes opened wide and she shook her head in a vigorous yes. She votes for the white water trip.

I can't believe I am going to miss this

Aw, Mad, why're you going to miss it?

Nicole, tell Sammy that there are lots of rocks along the Shenandoah that she can stop and climb on, and there are definitely some small rapids as you pass Harpers Ferry. DB, I assume the Shenandoah trip uses the same take-out spot as the Potomac whitewater one?

Or, for those so inclined, there's always the opportunity to do both rivers

I went with a different outfitter and it was definitely not the same takeout point. They took us on a bus to the put-in, and then we floated to their "shop" downriver.

That combo trip sounds great!

Combo sounds good to me....

Never been tubing before, so I would probably only contemplate flat water.
But......I have been convinced to be wild-and-crazy in my lifetime.

I'm headed back to Minnesota at the end of June and then it is med school for me!

The whitewater around Harper's ferry's pretty tame.

IF anyone's interested in rafting & doing the Gauley in West VA in the fall, it's been a few years since I've done it and I'd be game.

We're old

and this is close and relatively cheap.
I can just picture myself flying out of a raft right now.

I might be. I've never done rafting. Maybe I need to create a bucket list so I can put this on there and then be able to cross it off.
