We are getting close!!

It's that time of year again!!! In a few weeks, we will be tubing down the river, beers in hand and sun on our faces. Please contact Mitch if you have any questions regarding the trip. Most of you have been there before or have been camping, but if you are a newcomer or have not camped much before, here is a list of suggested items. It's a little lengthy for what we do, but it helps. We are not completely roughing it, in that we have cars and are just about a five minute drive away from help, but the nearest bathroom is a decent walk away-the campsite is pretty secluded. There is no cell service. An email with directions and a local contact number (Mitch's parents) will be going out soon.

If you have a tube, bring it!! Also, the last stop for groceries is the Food Lion in Sparta-please bring a bag of ice, as always.

There is a theme this year.....mullets!! (Or maybe it's rednecks). Don't ask, but if you are brave, get a mullet cut (shave it off afterward). Ladies, if you don't already have a tattoo, consider a henna or two-especially on the lower back. This is not to say tattoos are redneck, they are not, but think of the style........for example, consider getting one that says "I love beer", the PBR logo, the Wrangler logo, or something along those lines. Although, they may not make henna tattoos like that, lol. Wear tank tops, wife beaters and hats that read something to the effect of "It's beer thirty" or any Marlboro gear will do. Guys, wear your gold chains and sport your tricked-out goatees. 80's Hobie tanks or OP tanks would also do. Perhaps you might even fly a confederate flag or two. Cowboy hats, gold belt buckles.... you get the idea. Rednecks, but not white trash-there is a difference, even a philosophy.

My Lord, BOTH of the Francis boys will be there!!!! This year promises to be a LOAD of fun!!!
