Question
River float?
Answer
Rivers run, people float. Well some people. There will be a day after river float (weather permitting). We will need you to RSVP separately for this due to logistics involved in getting people to the launch site. Floaters will need an innertube, we can buy them for you if you give us money which means you are buying them technically. The float ends at a BBQ/Lunch at the Wilson's House. You can skip the float and just come to the BBQ. RSVP Here: http://evite.me/rXqUc8fUKx
