The trip report

This social event drew a big crowd. Many members decided to participate in additional activities on the water. 5 people went kayaking and 10 went tubing. After Friday's record setting 104 degrees, Saturday's 98 degrees still had members looking for relief on the river. Some members just dove in the water and chilled (literally,because underground springs release cool water at the river's edge).  Thanks to everyone who brought food.  We had a great picnic and lots of cool drinks. I especially want to thank the people who drove long distances to get here.  The members really made this a great day and we all got to make new friends.

About this event

Several people want to go kayaking. Be here 10AM for kayaking. Kayaking is $40 per person at a local business, or bring your own kayak. the Kayak company will take you up river to start and they offer multiple trips for the price. It's going to be HOT! If you want to go tubing instead, be here 11AM. I can put 8 people out tubing for free. If you are coming just to socialize, plan to arrive about 1PM for the cookout.  Spend a relaxing day at this beautiful location between the river on one side and the towpath and canal on the other. I will be here all day to oversee the picnic. You may want to go off biking or walking the path.  Don't miss this opportunity to spend time with fellow members at a unique location.  I'll provide hamburgers, hotdogs and soft drinks. You may want to offer to bring a covered dish or desert. Certainly you should bring your own personal food if you have special dietary needs.

I'm getting some nervous e-mails. Relax. It's going to be hot and people are signing up like mad to be by the water. I'll get you all out tubing at some point. You'll have a good time. I'm looking forward to seeing you.

If you have plastic chairs or floatation devices that can go in the water, bring them. In the water is the best place to be until the evening.

Friday PM:I went shopping after work so the food is fresh. I have commitments for several deserts, Chicken tacos, homemade cole slaw, and watermellon. Anyone else want to bring a different salad or pick food? We can also use more ice later in the day if you're stumped about what to bring.
