Sheep River Tubing

July 12, 2014

From our great experience last year the boys wanted to do it again this year. Initially Hale and his councilors were working on the food, but they ended up with a conflict with events their parents planned. So we picked up where they left off. We got 4 super big tubes and 2 rafts. The weather was a scorching 30+ with 0 clouds.  Eventually the water was not even cold, especially along the shore. You could even say it was hot.  After the tubing we had a bit of a delay getting our food and vehicle swap thing worked out, but it all worked out in the end. Even got a special delivery of cheese burgers by Hector, Keri's husband. 

We cleared up the directions on how to get the the launch point from the old map. Once you get off hwy 549, the road is numbered as 354, and you make a left turn at the intersection of road #48. They have these basic street sign polls at the intersections. It's the first such sign you come to. If you get to one numbered 64, you missed it and went too far, so come back. 

And remember the park is just after the bridge on then main town road (2A), its called Lions Park. Access is on the south side of the river and you just take your first left and the entrance sign is there on your left. 

This time on the drive down road 48 there was a part washed out, but its 100 yards from the river, so we just had a short hike to get the equipment  down to the river.
