we have that one too, but in grey. the problem for me is that it's sooo tall and you have to really dig to get in to it. not an easy thing to do while you are sitting in a tube, bouncing in the water.

It is a little tuff to reach down in when floating, Last week I put a twelve pack still in the box on the bottom then layered ice over it about 3 inches ( for reserves) then loaded the rest up with cans and ice..I think Penny you will have no problem finding you a bartender....Have someone serve you sweetie...its the proper way for a Texas Chica!!!!

Well i do remember jerry being really good last year about passing the flask around. As a matter of fact, someone gave him a nickname. Anyone remember it?

no need for to risk it at Rio Vista, cant go much beyond there right now. I would pull it out before the shute and then just play, drink and chill! Unless water flow has picked up in the last 5 days...

from SaltGrass which is the top of San Marcos to Rio Vista is about 1 1/2 hours, then again I was in a group of 2 one day, 3 the next and 4 the next, all about the same, When I snorkeled it took about the same amount of time because I spent a lot of time behind the Island looking at fish. Once you get to Rio Vista its time to play and chill and you can easily kill hours floating around, swimming and shooting the shoot....there are only a few spots where you will get real slow, By the park where the Lions Club puts in and then about 100 yards before you get to the first Rail Road crossing...I didnt go below Rio Vista based off of the water levels and flow and Sctx mentioned it took about 2 1/2-3 hours plus I only had my jeep and when we put in I dropped everyone and everything at the top drove down to Rio Vista nd then walked back up, In 100+ degree weather thats about as far of walk as I was willing to do. Needless to say when I got back to the top the water was not even a tad bit chilly, it was yummy!
