We tied the deflated tube to one of ours and towed it down river with us. Anyway.the person whose tube deflated had to get into the cooler float (thankfully, we’d gotten the bigger one) with the coolers. Once you get to the launch point, more chaos grabbing a tube off the truck (2 different sizes) and a cooler float (also 2 different sizes), and putting into the river with no guidance.

It’s pretty chaotic from sign-in, to getting a life preserver, to signing the waiver and getting a seat on the bus. We discovered it had already been patched but we had not been made aware of that when we chose the tube. We (6 of us) barely got onto the river before one of our tubes began to deflate. You have to traverse the uneven, rocky river bottom (I’m not talking pebbles, here.these are large rocks with crevices determined to grab your ankles) and get far enough off shore before you get into your tube in order to avoid a large tree that has fallen into the river. Getting into the river is challenging as you can’t just hop into your tube and you’re off. Floating might be a generous description as the river is super shallow for much of the float so much so that we would get off the tube from time to time just to push us along. Be aware, however, that there are busloads almost constantly entering the river and floating with you. It was a beautiful day on the Shenandoah River! There was a large group of young teen girls that launched about the same time as we did, so there was a lot of screaming, but that couldn’t be helped.
