Salt River Tubing
With a little luck Joey will have this day off and we're planning a trip down the Salt. Please keep in mind though we may have to bail last minute (or make an adjustment to this date) if his schedule changes however that doesn't mean the trip is cancelled if people still want to go. We're getting used to his schedule and never know when things might change. It's been a while since I've been down but it's always a blast! For anyone that's never been this isn't a place you'll want to bring small children. Depending on the water levels, the rapids can be dangerous. Please be on time and ready to go at the meetup time. We will not be hanging around waiting for everyone to get things together. I'd imagine most people will be driving due to the nature of the trip but if you don't plan on bringing much you're more than welcome to ride.
Here is the website for any questions you may have http://saltrivertubin... or feel free to email me as I've been there many times. There is a fee for tube rental as well as the shuttle bus. They will also ask one person to leave their ID at the tube rental location for tube rentals. You can put up to a certain number of tubes on each ID but please do not do it unless you trust the person as you are then responsible for them being returned. I will post additional tips along the way and please feel free to share your own as well. I can't wait!

Elaine - you may want to reconsider riding there. After floating 5-6 hours down the river in the heat it's pretty exhausting to drive home let alone ride. There's also a good amount of people driving that have been drinking all day. I'm not sure if you've ever been there or not but speaking from experience I wouldn't ride myself.

Who said there were no pictures taken? I don't think Meetup allows such pics to be posted :) If you wanted to be a part of the action you had to be there!
