Okay we're going to have a bunch of people come out to float down crabtree creek from my place to lassiter mill on walmart rafts saturday.

the challenge part will not be discussed in the open.


we will start around 12, but people will need to roll up around 11-11:30 in order to get their rafts blown up.

P.M. me for details if interested, im not going to post where i live and everything.


looks like this

Sounds fun, but if I did it I'd be hanging out with TWWers, and I just can't see that happening.

7/16/2008 9:07:29 AM

take a 6 pack on that thing and it sounds like a pretty solid saturday

7/16/2008 9:07:42 AM

nice, we used to do this at the dam near my hometown, we caled it man taning, which in retrospect was very very gay. We just visited the local tire places and gotr a crapton of innertubes, the bigger ones fit a cooler veyr well..

7/16/2008 9:07:45 AM

coolers are required

7/16/2008 9:12:43 AM

MOTHERFUCKER

that sounds so awesome

i'll be outta town

7/16/2008 9:13:31 AM

I'd do it.

7/16/2008 9:14:08 AM

btw, when I did this we did it on intertubes. How much were those rafts at Wally World?

7/16/2008 9:14:53 AM

I would suggest tubes, free or very very cheap depending. Plus, it makes it that much more redneck.

7/16/2008 9:16:12 AM

Yea i agree, i think i just found those rafts you guys used and it looked like they were $30

7/16/2008 9:18:15 AM

pm sent

7/16/2008 9:18:24 AM

man, let's do this in like, October, when it's not 100 degrees and we don't have to fight off yellowflies and whatnot.

7/16/2008 9:22:07 AM

100 degrees? we've been having wonderful weather this week

7/16/2008 9:26:12 AM

i am just interested in what time it ends and the amount of money i will need...hopefully i'm getting a 50 dollar check friday which is almost like hitting the lottery for me

7/16/2008 9:26:23 AM

We're supposed to have a rainy weekend though

How about a second installment in August (not the weekend of the 8th ok )

7/16/2008 9:27:16 AM

^^ good thing cases are 11.99 these days

7/16/2008 9:28:06 AM

88 this saturday with a "chance" of storms sounds like a "its gonna be nice but we might get a late day pop up thunderstorm, MAYBE"


which is perfect

[Edited on July 16, 2008 at 9:30 AM. Reason : ^haha true...if you only knew how broke i was]

7/16/2008 9:29:48 AM

the weather should be fine. sounds like any storms that roll up will be after we get out. (around 5)

I suggest rafts with oars because the last couple miles will be slow moving water.

the rafts + oars are 30 bucks total.

I know this will double post-not sure why my phone does this now

7/16/2008 9:45:56 AM

seemed to work out pretty good that time


where would we have to meet? is it somewhere the cat can reach if not in walking distance

anything over 7' and we wont be going.

the Cat does drop off at the top of my neighborhood on glenwood, and if needed i think there is also a stop lassiter mill where we pull off.

7/16/2008 10:21:52 AM

lol at the thought of dNl getting off the CAT bus with an sagging deflated inner tube and a single beer that he got from cleaning out someone elses apartment

7/16/2008 10:22:52 AM

oh ok...that shouldnt be a problem then, other than trying to tote my raft on the bus but i figure i could just deflate it or something

7/16/2008 10:23:25 AM

Damnit, I would definitely do this if I wasn't going to be out of town this weekend

7/16/2008 10:23:52 AM

ok...if you know mr grace and want to be the other person in my 2 person boat let me know...although i'm guessing one person per boat is way better

[Edited on July 16, 2008 at 10:28 AM. Reason : ..]

7/16/2008 10:27:44 AM

Raft: $30

Oars: $10

Beer: $6

Watching dnl trying to figure out how the fuck he is going to get from place to place: priceless

7/16/2008 10:28:00 AM

ha nah...i aint gonna try to steal his thunder...i didnt even think anyone ever did this

[Edited on July 16, 2008 at 10:28 AM. Reason : ^lolololol...10/10 sir]

7/16/2008 10:28:23 AM

they are 1 person boats, trust me on that, even thought they say 2

hahahahahahah It would be worth it to chill at the end and wait for DNL to get out of the creek and figure out how to get home

7/16/2008 10:30:56 AM

yeah i realized about soon as i looked at the pic a second time there was no way for 4 hours i'm sharing that with someone

How long does it take to float / row from point A to point B ?

7/16/2008 10:34:45 AM

4-5hrs

7/16/2008 10:35:43 AM

yeah he posted in the other thread its about 4-5 hours

7/16/2008 10:43:51 AM

Damn I didn't realize there was another thread....if I don't make the cut as a contender in the crabtree creek challenge, I'm going to at least have to float my happy ass down this thing with a cooler full of coldies at some point

7/16/2008 10:48:43 AM

you are good men for doing this

7/16/2008 10:56:31 AM

i really wish i could get a ride back...getting to his place wouldnt be that bad...i'd figure someone would have to drive close to avent ferry on the way back...mr grace is anyone going that i may know?

7/16/2008 10:59:25 AM

^^^ I am trying to make a trip out of this in asheville.

7/16/2008 11:00:17 AM

^^ I'm sure somebody will be able to drive you back, just not soberly lol

you guys should do this again in a couple of months...it def sounds like fun

7/16/2008 11:04:48 AM

^^are you not gonna be his wing man for this too?

[Edited on July 16, 2008 at 11:05 AM. Reason : ^ninja girl]

7/16/2008 11:05:08 AM

dnl, calm down. you're starting to make me think this was a bad idea to open it up to strangers. If your don't have money or a ride, perhaps this isn't for you.

7/16/2008 11:05:16 AM

lol nah money aint a prob...and i'd pay people for a ride if it meant not having to ride the damn cat bus for probably about 3 hours total

[Edited on July 16, 2008 at 11:07 AM. Reason : seriously...this would be the funnest thing i've done in about 2 or 3 years probably]

7/16/2008 11:06:39 AM

float down a river?

7/16/2008 11:09:34 AM

you know you could just call a cab right?

I haven't been invited first off, so as of right now I am not going lol.

7/16/2008 11:13:21 AM

he said pm him if you were interested...tdub things are not typically invite only lol

7/16/2008 11:14:10 AM

yeah...i think this thread is the invitation, lol

7/16/2008 11:15:00 AM

whatever guys. I haven't gotten the details yet, so I can't make a decision as of right now. GOSH

7/16/2008 11:16:34 AM

ok well anyways i think i've pm'ed mr grace twice and he hasnt responded which gives me the impression he doesnt want me to come anyways


was gonna send a third pm asking for his address so i can plan out the cat bus rides etc but figure i'll just post it here
