Happy Beautiful Sunday today August 19, 2018, NEXT Sunday August 26th, hopefully will be just as beautiful. Just 7 more days until we will raft the Hiwassee.
This is very important, IF you plan to raft with us please read the entire email, however please pay close attention to the yellow highlighter areas.
Also please let me know no later than Tuesday August 21st, if you are going to eat at "Flip Flops" after the river run. I must give them a head count to order enough food for us. Barb- 423-902-6095 or barbwire@flash.net
All,
I’m looking forward to the Hiwassee River Rafting trip on Sunday, August 26, 2018. The Hiwassee river is fed from TVA’s Apalachia reservoir. The water is fairly cool year round. On a 90+ degree day it feels great to get into the river. NOTE - you will be getting wet.
The trip down the river will usually take 2-1/2 – 3-1/2 depending on how much “play time” you want on the river. If you want to play on the river, reserve a Duckie. There isn't much playing in a tube or a raft. We will plan to be on the river at around 2:30PM. The later in the day the less crowded the river… a good thing. Here is the itinerary:
- Meet at Webbs Store 1:30 PM to sign waivers and pick up gear. If anyone wants to tube we will have to leave Webbs by 2:00PM. Rafts and Duckies/ Fun yacks can leave as late at 4:00PM.
- Get on the river by 2:30PM (ish)
- Arrive back at Webbs at 5:30PM
- Eat at Flip-Flop Burgers located just across the river from Webbs 6:00 or so. They close at 8:00PM on Sunday.
