| - I have mixed feelings about Salt River. On one hand, there's the filthy, pee infused water, but on the other hand, there's a fun, relaxing day spent floating down the river. Hmm.
Like most natives, I've been here more times than I care to admit. And it only took me two or three times to realize that when mom says to put on sunblock, she's not kidding.
A few blistered body parts later, I now coat myself from head to toe in SPF 45 anytime I get remotely close to Salt River and you should too. If you plan to spend the day out there, you must bring your sunblock with you and don't think it will be hard to do that. People have coolers and all kinds of other things floating in tubes out there with them, so you'll be able to stash it somewhere.
And while this is definitely a fun place to bring your kids, you'll also want to keep in mind that this is apparently also a spot that drunks like to frequent. High school and college kids flock to this place and as a result, I've seen two naked guys floating in a tube as I went past them. On two different occasions.
Be prepared to see anything, bring lots of sunblock and water and you'll have a great time. Just be sure to take a hot shower when you get home to boil all the germs off your skin.
