Salt River Tubing

This weekend some friends invited us to go tubing with them down the Salt River. Growing up in Arizona, Joel could recall several times of tubing down the river with his family. I was excited to join in the fun. The company, Salt River Tubing has a pretty legit set up there. You park, get your tubs and then they shuttle you up the river to the drop off area and then take you back when you are done.
July in Arizona... I am sure you can imagine just how hot it was. We were sweating just waiting to get in the water. We tried all of our tubes together and down the river we went!

Overall the day was fun and quite an adventure. Not exactly what Joel remembered as a child. For one the river was packed with bodies. People everywhere, it was pretty crazy. Then on top of that everyone on the river was drinking, smoking or both! There was just a constant stench of pott and alcohol. We were definitely ready to be done when we finally reached the end. We had a lot of fun though and it was one of our last adventures with our friends Taylor and Bridget, so definitely worth it.

Joel is trying to prevent 'the burn' with that fashionable shirt around his neck,
 but there was no use. We got fried!!

 

Bridget and I... I miss her :(
