Riding Game

That's the way it's played. You have to get the original tag first, then you get to post a new tag of your choice. Just try to make them something that is possible to most. Tom, white water rafters may be tough, at least it is here. We have white water surfers.:rolleyes: I hope they aren't rafting through a lava field. lol
 
Sweet! Glad you made it out before dark and rain gets there. Forgive my impatience with the double tag. The Rio Grande has some great rafting about a hundred miles north of here, but it's too shallow locally. Road trip??

It will be. They don't come out until it warms up a bit.

When I was a teen my family went rafting. I think it was Browns Canyon or something like that. Most of the day was slow going, but when we hit the rapids wow, that was a blast, it wasn't white though, the river was clay colored. I remember our guide pointing out the plateau they used in the Chevy commercials. I think their base was in Salida or something like that. I remember seeing cacti floating past us several times.
 
Here's your river rafters.

Sorry, no floating cacti.

And since I was slow, here's another.

Whitewater?? We're lucky to even have a trickle of water this year. Can I just take a pic of my pool and bike while I'm churning up the water with a rubber duckie?
 
I'll find water but if there's canoes or kayaks they better be carried, or amphibian crafts. We'll see. It's been raining more lately so I guess it's possible. I'll go down to the river shortly.
 
So what's the tag? White water or Rafter's? Both... I'm with Lurch, not going to be able to participate unless allowed to be "creative".
 
You can't tell me there are no whitewater rafters in Vermont. You guys all act like you have mountains, there's no rivers in the mountains? Or no one turns off their TVs to go outside and play in the water? I bet there are commercial guided raft trips in about thirty or so states. The point of this is to go ride, like I did.

What about all you riders in the rest of the world? This is an easy tag for most anyone except maybe those in Florida or Louisianna. I have seen rafts gong down whitewater in a lot of states and countries.
 
Be about a hundred and twenty five miles for me. Nice ride though. Getting anywhere near Hell's Gate for a picture of the bike and rafts is another matter. No roads down there. Good tag though. Somebody must have some white water running by a road......

All I'm saying is with little snow in the mountains last winter for spring runoff or much rain this summer, I won't be able to find whitewater. That just means I won't be after this tag...then again I haven't done much with this game lately.
 
Rafter's no... Biggest tributaries to fit rafts are pretty slow moving in my neck of the woods.. Tubing though... Thats Frickin' every where. I'll look into this though. Like I said if I can be creative I can post a picture of a raft in white water ;)
 
I gotta get some new rubber on the road before going any further here. I'll still enjoy seeing what you all come up with though.
 
Ok, new rubber on the ground, I'm headed for the rapids. Its about 2 hours north of here and the forecast looks iffy. We'll see about rafters, but have fun riding im sure.
