2009 TE-DC Harper's Ferry tubing outing
To disable ads, please log-in.
I was thinking about this last week and Catriona reminded me again... Do we want to do a Harper's Ferry tubing outing again this summer? Divingbiker suggested that we do the Shenandoah relaxed trip this year, and I agree that it'd be fun to try the other river this time. Is it too soon to figure out a date for this?

Just so we can narrow it down a bit, what month is good for folks? August? September?

Hotter in August. I was momentarily hypothermic last year when it started to rain.

I'd be interested, but I could only do it the last weekend in August. If that's no good for everyone else, then make sure you post pictures!

I'd be up for it.
Slow water, huh?
White water was a hoot...if not entirely a "group" activity.

I really liked the baby white water but I never saw anyone I knew the whole time.
And I, fearing an imminent lightning strike, got stuck around Redneck Rock

I'd do white water again if that's the group consensus, but I had a lot of fun when I went with my vegetarian friends on the lazy river ride. I didn't see some people till the parking lot at the end of our whitewater trip. Originally Posted by 7rider

How does either Saturday, Aug 29th, or Sunday, Aug 30th, work on everyone else's calendars? If that's not a good weekend for the majority, I'll post a list of dates. Originally Posted by ny biker
