| - FAQs and Tuber tips: Go to the site's website, it's listed...
First time tubing with my friends and cousins. We parked the car, rented tubes for $15 each which includes the bus ride to the site. We did the 2 hour course. They have longer, but everyone said it's a drag.
When we got to the site, we tied our tubes together and tied our cooler into one tube; if you want to save, you can buy a floaty at the store that's made specifically to hold a cooler or drinks, etc. Anyway, someone got the wrong sized tube. We got the big one so we took the longest time to trying secure the cooler with rope. It was soooo hot. Feet were burning and I was sweating like crazy trying to tie the cooler in well.
Finally we get in the water and started floated away and drinking. The black tubes were hot. I can't believe my friends who went last time forgot to tell us to bring sheets to cover the tubes - burned our skin. As we floated we hit some rocks and some walls. Be careful if you try to paddle or kick w/ your feet. I kicked a rock and it hurt! Some areas are shallow, other areas were deep. One of my friends let his ass hang low and ended up bruising it after colliding w/ so much rocks.
We ended up running out of beer. Make sure you bring enough beer! We had given one beer away because this girl lost hers in the water; they regretted giving it away. Then during the rest of the trip, they tried to mooch off others who'd be kind enough to donate. Got 2 donates and one cigarette. There was a group who packed their cigs in a water bottle and also put their lighters in another bottle. Smart idea.
We had so much fun chatting with others around us. We saw a guy walking on water like Jesus. We let him float w/ us because he lost his group, who were about a mile away. We tried to keep him hostage so we can get beer from his group, but no cigar lol.
We passed a section where ppl were cliffdiving. It wasn't high but it looked fun. If you want to do it, make sure your prepared to swim ahead of time. My friends were down to do it but the river was moving too fast. We saw a girl jump off topless, highlight of the day. I tried to take pics of her with my (waterproof) camera but missed because the river was going so fast lol. Near the end of the stop, prepare to get your feet hurt. We had a hard time stopping and had these 2 guys help us. Same guys even had a knife with them to help us cut our rope that kept the tubes together. What life savers...
Found out someone died at the river the same day we went. PRetty sad. Didn't find out why but make sure you go with a group of friends who know how to swim, or wear a life vest, and don't get drunk drunk. It's supposed to be a fun event.
What I didn't bring but will bring next time is music with waterproof everything.
You can bring your own floats too. If anything, one person can drop your friends off at the river and that one person rides the bus for $12 all day. Saves money.
Also, make sure you secure your shoes, people lost them at the river when we were there. Also make sure you bring enough sunblock. Some of my friends had to reapply many times. If you wear sunglasses and think they may fall off, use a croakie.
This was such a fun experience for me. I'm so going again.
