Various things...
Jul. 30th, 2007 01:30 pmFirst off,
For all those who wished congratulations from Otakon, THANK YOU! :) I should've thanked you all sooner but I got on planning the next thing and since my mind is all over the place, things aren't exactly happening in the logical order. THANKS! *hugs*
OK, now onto the next event.
BIG DAY OUT
I talked with the rafting place (whitewaterrafting.com - select lehigh river). And I got an itinerary so you all kinda know how the big day goes:
830 am - Check In at the rafting center (where you get your coupons for meals and stuff, given 2 water bottles, you can also bring more to drink as long as it's not alcohol)
845 - Break fast served
910 - get supplies for rafting (paddles, life vests, etc)
920 - buses loaded to take us to the bike center where we pick up bikes and biking equipment
1000 - we start the biking portion
1 pm - lunch is provided and change for the hiking portion
145 - we start the hike up the waterfalls
345 - we get changed for rafting and get our rafting supplies
400 - rafting portion of the trip begins (4 miles downriver)
7 - we're done and are brought back to the rafting center where we can change into dry clothing
715 - bonfire and dinner, get a mug and fill with frothy beverage...
Cost is 90+tax. Which includes everything - bikes, food, rafting equipment, and so on. If you're doing this, call the rafting center Toll-Free (800) WHITEWATER (944-8392) and make reservations for the Big Day Out on Aug 11th. You'll need a credit card to pay for it over the phone. You have to pay for it in full to make reservations. If you have an issue with doing this, I'm making my reservations tomorrow and if you let me know, I will add you on to my charge, then you can pay me back. :) After you make your reservations - please lemme know so that I know that you are going. Please make the reservations ASAP since once it gets filled up, they won't accept anymore reservations. And the closer it gets the more people sign up.
CAMPING
We're going camping at Hickory Run state park. The park is about 15 minutes from the rafting center. It's $17 night for a campsite, a campsite can have no more than 5 people. The plan is to camp out friday and saturday nights as a little more adventure time to go with the Big Day Out. This will involve bringing tents and sleeping bags and other camp related things. Location has bathrooms and showers (I know I'll need to shower after the big day out... :P ). So far I have confirmed responses of Me, Dani, Erik, and Joe. And I know there were a few more interested. I just really need to know if there will be more than 5 since I want to reserve campsite(s). Preferably, next to each other if needed. We can park a second car on the campsite for $3 more if it fits. Which since we have small tents should work. BTW - there is no alcohol allowed in any PA state parks. Yeah bummer, I know.
If you want to go camping I really need to know ASAP! Cause I'll reserve 2 campsites instead of one. And please call and make your reservations for the Big Day Out!
