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

    Several of us who were riding on the C&O Canal on Saturday decided it would be fun to spend a day tubing at Harper's Ferry. So let's do! This is open to anyone who would like to join us, and I'd say family members are welcome, too, unless someone has an objection.

    First, we have to pick a date, then whether we want to do flat water or white water, and then an outfitter. It will cost somewhere around $25-30, plus the rental of a cooler (or a tube for our cooler) if we wish.

    Here are some choices:

    River Riders
    River and Trail Outfitters
    Butts Tubes

    If you're interested, please note which Saturday or Sunday in August would work for you. Let's see if this will work: Cut and paste the list below and add your preferences, so everyone's choices are on the same list.

    Sounds like fun! If we did it on Sunday 8/3 I might be able to bring DP and DD (DS doesn't like water much).
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    Thus far this is what our availability looks like. I'm sure my husband would gladly come as long as he isn't the only dude. :P

    And we have to have a cooler.

    Thanks for kicking this off, Oh Great Engineering/Planning Wizard

    OK, how about this...How about we keep the trip to "just the girls"? I'm having a bit of trepidation about floating around in my swimsuit all day with husbands along...

    I've invited my neighbor to join us, too.

    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.
