Default Summer Dragon Drive and River Float Combined

Anyone interested is beating the heat this summer with a River Float on "Funyaks" (blow up kayak) Everything provided by the outfitters. $54 per couple. We would drive the Cherohola and 68/30 before and 360 and the Dragon to return. You will get wet but sit out of the water.
The water is not released until 11 AM so we will time it correctly with the driving before and after.
Anyone interested.? I think Friday would be better so Outfitter is not so busy but Saturday is possible as well.

Sounds like it could be fun! Is there a website with more details? I don't have anyone but me though so I'd need a buddy, haha.

After talking with Kathy..... I think we will pass on this.

We went by this on our drive Saturday of our last event.....

Looks like a lot of fun, but we are small creek/lake kayakers.... not class 2/3 kayakers....

Now, if I could lose Kathy... I'd be game!

This is billed as a family easy float. If you want tough conditions, you need to go to a different location/river. So I was told anyways. Figured the easy one would be good for you old folks.

What happens on the Banana stays on the banana. LOL

There are actually lots of outfitters down there on several rivers. If someone wanted to drive a specific road, we could choose the location based on that but I have no problem with a nice drive up the Cherohola to go rafting.

Looter, you are not allowed to come if you want to wear a speedo.
