Hey guys here is some information regarding this Tuesdays trip. The first thing is our meeting point. We are going to meet a water street which is located here. The meet time is at 4:30 and please show up on time as best as possible. I will be providing the raft, life jackets and some splash gear. Equipment that you should bring includes some sort of water clothing including a swimsuit. If you do get cold is is best to bring synthetic clothing such as underarmour or fleece. Cotton is a no-no on the river as it drys slowly and will keep you cold. I will also have a large dry bag that we can keep dry clothing for the take out in. Because the trip will take three hours I would also sugest a small snack and a large water bottle. If you have any questions feel free to e-mail me at curtishuey@gmail.com .
