. "3"^^ . "8"^^ . . "4"^^ . "I went for the first time on memorial day weekend, and it was totally fun. I did have some mishaps, but its mother nature, so I cant really lower the rating for that. I cannot emphasize how much you need to re-apply, and re-apply sunblock, and DO bring an extra one. I went overboard in some rapids and that sucked...just be careful...we all re-applied a lot of sunblock and all got 2nd degree burns, and my room-mate actually has to go to a burn unit..thats how bad his is...\nThe water levels were pretty low this weekend, so it was a little bit of a rough ride...did get banged up a little...not a huge deal, just be prepared for rocks.\nOther than my pale-ness getting me super burned I had a fun time. I would recommend that they implement cops or something at some of the checkpoints because the river was moving super slow and our supposed 4 hour trip turned into 6.5 hours and I literally felt my skin dying.also my tube popped, and I wish there was an area I could have stopped along the way to rent one..Instead I was stuck floating on my 6'3 husbands lap for 5 hours...I wish we could have caught a ride from someone out of there. There were some cops here and there, but I saw a lot of people getting hurt etc and no one there to help them..well besides the people in the tube next to them. We met some cool people along the way..there were people with music bumping, tossing marshmallows, I even got a jello shot from someone..also be prepared to see girls flashing people for beer ....this place is not for the prudes!\nDont take your cell phone with you\ndont take your keys with you\nIf you take cigarettes, you will probably soak them\nbe prepared, and for the love of god...dont bring your children there...this is no place for little kids.."^^ .
