[Jsquared]

So any help on a ride? I really want to go just don't want to drive drunk home. The river is no fun with no alcohol.

[Johnny Cochran]

I might be able to get one more person, it would be a tight fit though...where abouts do you live?

[Jsquared]

44th st. and van buren. Right off the 202 freeway.

[06Gixxer King]

yeah. well as long as the rest of you dont start slapping me while I am driving like jerry and jarod like too, I am good. and there will be no alcohol involved for the driver(me) :P

Nah i won't do that...well maybe at stop lights;)

[06Gixxer King]

Alright this is the official unofficial thread to get a head count and plan this out.

Read the first post for details. Please also respond to the poll.

[357Magnum]

[Diablito]

I might be bringing a car so I can bring a raft for a huge cooler ( cooler stands ftw!) but I'm still getting drunk and probally passing out in my car..

[Johnny Cochran]

I am bringing my cooler as well...we need someone to bring rope...any takers?

[Jimmy3]

[Tack_R6]

[Jsquared]

^ someone please get this guy a ride... he asked many times... anyone with room??? MORE BEER!!!!!!

For real that is what I am saying. I would drive myself up there, but how fun is it to not drink when you are over 21.

[Jimmy3]

What's the cost again, I forget?

[Johnny Cochran]

Figure on spending around 15 or so (I think it's 13) for the tube and then anything else that you need...such as beer/ice/sunscreen/etc.

[Disdain]

shauna and I are out again.. :( shes working tomorrow

which sux.. now that she's salary... grrr.. lol what am i complaining about shes my sugar momma now..

[Tack_R6]

Ok so lets get a head count with names of who's in and figure out where we are meeting and at what time, I say we hit the river no later than 10....

Ritchie i need to know where to meet up with you at so i can get a ride... I live off of the 51 and camelback so if there is a way to swing by that would be great, or maybe i can head over to jareds place... Whatever is easiest for you.

[Tack_R6]

What time u gonna be there????

[357Magnum]

um. 8:15 I guess? lol sooooooooooooooooooooo early. im gonna get so fuckin burned.

[357Magnum]

and is anyone bringing an ice chest or something to put drinks in?

[Johnny Cochran]

I'm bringing an ice chest...I will actually be bringing two...the meet up for this is on Power and McKellips on the South East corner in the Walgreens parking lot at 830...roll out will be at 845. That puts us at Salt River Rec. at 9am sharp.

[357Magnum]

god damn that is soooo early! haha. we can't meet at 9?

[Johnny Cochran]

Meet up time at 9am? roll out between 915 - 930? that's fine...as long as we don't push it much futher then that...we need to be off the river by 3...

[06Gixxer King]

i will be ready at 8 so whenever you want to get me thats cool.

Tadd if you want to meet up here that is cool and we have a couch and air matress if you want to pass out for a bit afterwards before you ride home.

Also i have a cooler it's a weird one with the handle and 2 wheels kinda square shape but decently deep. i say about 2-30's and some ice will fit. i just need to clean it out.

[Tack_R6]

cool pm directions to ur place.....

Hell ya tomorrow is gonna be fun as hell!!!

[357Magnum]

so which way are we taking on the riveR?

[GixJello206]

dude the river is open till 7 pm and last tube rental is 4 pm where did you get three from?????/

[Johnny Cochran]

From Walgreens at Power and McKellips, we will take Power north, it leads right to Salt River Rec.

And I say we want to be off the river by 3ish because:

1: 2-4 is the hottest part of the day
2: 3-4 is the highest amount of damage that the sun can do to a body
3: Traffic to get out of there from 4 on is stupid

[Jimmy3]

That's 2 runs I think on the shortest route. I'll pitch in gas money and for food.

[Johnny Cochran]

We'll still go from 1 - 4...it's about 6 hours or so dependin on how the water flows

[Tack_R6]

had a blast and i am fukin burnt to a crisp.... lost my nekclace along the way as well

[Blue Devil]

Sorry i didnt come out today... didnt want to ruin my nice new artwork :D

[Jimmy3]

The marshmellows were the best.

[slyfox]

Well that was a great bonding experience!!! lol

[Tack_R6]

I am sooooo hurting today, fukin horrible sun burn, but it was worth it!!!! I think i slept for nearly 13 hours though!!

[357Magnum]

[06Gixxer King]

Losing your money for swimsuit- $20
Beer and Ice -$24
losing old sunglasses -$60
Getting river crap in your eye and getting it irritated - painfull

Getting Drunk for 7 hours in 100+ heat with your buddies: Priceless

[Tack_R6]

[GixJello206]

OK I think it was well worth it thanks for everyone that came out ok my lists: I almost drowned kinda scary but pulled through that arguement with those people was garbage sorry for startin it I AM BURNT to hell I am sore as hell from tryin to swim to the surface but over all a great time! ohh and jared I am all cut up from the concrete ass hole lol jk and I still say jake is a trader!!!!!!!!! Good to meet steve katrina and amanda~!!!

[06Gixxer King]

Also the sratches serve you right for tipping me over when i couldn't even see out my damn eye.

[GixJello206]

ask jarod and kate when we went through some rapids my tube popped out from under me and I went under and it felt like forever before I got to the surface johnny saw too.

[Johnny Cochran]

I saw you under water...cause I was under too! lol...oh well...

[Diablito]

Great way to kick off the river season imo... Long ass float though. I'm not that burnt really more sore from swimming. So who's up for this weekend or memorial weekend? memorial is going to be ridiculas, I'm planning on going even if its by myself.

[YellowDevil]

Wish i could've gone, sorry guys...:(

[06Gixxer King]

ask jarod and kate when we went through some rapids my tube popped out from under me and I went under and it felt like forever before I got to the surface johnny saw too.

oh if it was the 1st rapid then i missed it becuase i went under trying to save the cooler.

[Rodskii]

I saw you under water...cause I was under too! lol...oh well...


ahh you guys had a moment!!

[Pink Devil]

That sure was a fun time, minus the jerks who love the lakers, sorry to anyone who I pissed off I was wayyyyyyy too drunk. It definately was a great time with all of you though!

[Rodskii]

That sure was a fun time, minus the jerks who love the lakers, sorry to anyone who I pissed off I was wayyyyyyy too drunk. It definately was a great time with all of you though!

They were vato's from LA... of course they like the Lakers... I think it is standard issue...

you know they were just sitting there waiting for any excuse to start shit. And they jumped at the opportunity when we started talking military.

[Libretto]

Sounds like i missed one hell of a good time oh well its a long summer im sure the chance will arise again

[Johnny Cochran]

ahh you guys had a moment!!

Sounds like someone is jealous...since his moment wasn't as precious :) j/k bro.

Yeah, I was keeping quiet at the end of that rope when that vato was trying to swim toward you guys...I'll just say that he probably wouldn't have made it past me if he had kept coming, I love being a silent creaper like that...

"I'll hold you under until the bubbles stop!! Now that's Solving The Problem"

[Pink Devil]

Yeah I should have kept my mouth shut, since now I don't remember what I said hahaha. I think we should all go again soon!

[slyfox]

lol good times, good times.

[Tack_R6]

Yup i am down to go again, Memorial day weekend should be a good time!!!! I think i am gonna stray away from the sun this weekend and let my horrible burn heal though.

[Pink Devil]

Tadd do you have my tanning oil lol?

[Tack_R6]

HAHA, no... And the bit i did have on didn't really help me tan as much as Severely Burn me all over :)

[Pink Devil]

Ohhh damn, that sucks! Did you ever re-apply sun screen? Feel better!

[Rodskii]

Sounds like someone is jealous...since his moment wasn't as precious :) j/k bro.

"I'll hold you under until the bubbles stop!! Now that's Solving The Problem"

What I think was great is that they didn't realized we had about 5 military guys in the group and not to mention MANY irish/scottish/germans (or any combo of) drinking.... we love to fight... problem is they love to carry knives...

Funny thing is everyone in their group was telling him to shut the fuck up and calm down as well.... he was belligerent and looking for a fight..

[Jsquared]

I am down to go would say again, but never had a ride last time. So hopefully next time when you guys go one of you can save me a seat.

[Jimmy3]

What? I thought everyone had a ride that wanted to go. Well, we'll correct that on the next trip.

[Johnny Cochran]

Yeah, I'm game for another run...don't know about Memorial day...last year they closed out the road off at 9am...so we'll need to head out there at like 7am

[Tack_R6]

7 am???? wow, i suppose that would be one of those don't go to sleep type deals then!!!

[Jimmy3]

Water was so cold.

[Tack_R6]

i thought it was relatively warm.... it got cold later in the day, but in the beginning it felt good! but then again i was full of booze so....

[Jsquared]

That always helps :) Could have also been the urine from upstream. :lol2:

[Jimmy3]

Nah, it was the Jack Daniels and the 10 cases of beer that helped.

[Tack_R6]

haha yea i thought about the urine thing too, ewwwwww

That jack went away quite quickly!!!!

[Jimmy3]

The girls drank it too quickly. Need to brink the 2L jug next time.

[Tack_R6]

haha yea, i wasnt too worried there was a shit ton of beer!!!!

[GixJello206]

if that was a moment I hated it johnny!!! lol like I said before aside from people tryin not to havea good time I had a BLAST I can't go memorial day weekend I will be in rocky point!!

[Tack_R6]

^ yea overall it was a great time like i said, there is always some dumb ass on the river who drank too much and decides to get stupid.... O well in the end all is well and everyone made it home safe i believe!!!

Thansk again to those who drove us all home.... It was highly appreciated

[Jimmy3]

Yes. Thanks DD's, especially Johnny.

[Pink Devil]
