(ROUGH DRAFT)
Rafting Trip:- Bring warm cloths/jacket as it will get cold at night. It was 42 here this morning
- Bring money to rent a wet suit and booties (highly recommended). I called Whitewater Challengers, its $20 for the full suite. (I’ve rafted many times, you want a suite). Also for meal stops, it’s a long drive.
- Do not wear crocks or sandals. Bring an extra pair as you will get wet.
- Bring a water blaster (but not an expensive one)
- It can only be used once your on the raft, outside of that it will be taken away.
- No Cell phones or electronic games.
- We are meeting at 5pm sharp at the church for the trip.
- If you think you need mediation bring it and give it to Pete P. We can not provide any medication at all.
- also that the guys should bring their dinner as always with them for Friday night
- they really only spoke about the trip and that people should meet at the parking lot at 4:30 ready to go at 5:00...
