East Bay contingent

So, last year I remember two cars leaving from Danville. My girlfriend and I will be coming from Sunnyvale (South Bay), but if people are coming from Danville/East Bay, we might like to carpool with them. We're definitely in for the rafting, but we're not sure about the camping just yet.

The 4th is best for me!

Hey Everybody,
Josh and I have looked at our schedule again and actually the 4th is a better weekend for us! Let's make a decision soon though so we can request the time off!
Thanks!

NEW POSSIBLE DATE

How does everyone feel about the weekend of August 4th? I just got word that a bunch of you would prefer this date. Reply by commenting on this blog post.

An idea

Ok so there seems to be some varying opinions about what weekend is the best for the trip. What everyone should do is please post on this blog suggestions for alternative dates. After I have a bunch, I will create a poll where people can select all the dates that they are available. At which point we can select the most utilitarian choice. POST YOUR ALTERNATIVE DATES NOW!!!!

New Date Suggestions

Wait! August 11 doesn't work for us and this year we want to go! The only weekends that DO NOT work for us are July 13-15 (wedding), and August 10-12, and August 17-19 (we'll be in Peru with my brother!).

Any way we could do it some other time - like the week before - August 3-5?

If not, no worries, but if yes, then that would be suh-weet.

Aqua Army 3

Ahoy Aqua Army Veterans!

The summer has arrived and with it comes an avalanche of Float Trip Fun. This is the 1 time of year we should all ditch our responsibilities and drunkenly float down a river with a group of long lost (or near and dear) friends. Recall that this event takes place near San Francisco. Historically we organize carpools/food/tents/weapons by city (SF and LA). We camp 2 or 3 days near a lake....and 1 of those days we float down a slow moving river with beer in large rafts. Some highlights include rope swings into the river, pirate invasions of unsuspecting rafts, campfire sing-a-longs, jet skis, marshmallows and snuggling in sleeping bags.


Does the weekend of August 11th work for you?

Do you have any alternative campsite, river, raft or date suggestions?

Are you enlisting in the Aqua Army this year?

I know I have absent-mindedly forgotten neat people from this email list. Please feel free to invite your hooligan friends.
