Today we went tubing down the mountain river, Shenandoah. Tubings are inflatable donuts. I chose the “Tracker,” which is a single-person inflatable boat. Unlike tubing, it has shark-proof protection: a bottom and a paddle that can also be used for rowing. Most of the journey went through small rapids, where it shook quite a bit and splashed around.
All this is located near Harpers Ferry, a historic town in West Virginia. In two of them on white water, i.e., the mountain river, Masha wasn’t allowed: either the height wasn’t right or the weight. Eventually, this weekend I played it smart: bought from a third company, where we hadn’t been yet, online, with a prepayment, carefully following all the stipulations regarding weight and age. In the end, we got in, but our friends, who arrived later without reservations, did not, for the same reason.
I must say, the restrictions are there for a reason: it was challenging.
