Water Fun on the Mequoketa River
Details
The summer is coming to a close and it's been a very long time since our group has had any water fun. The Monticello River Rentals has opened again, finally, almost 2 weeks ago, in August due to previous high, swift flowing waters.
I'm hoping to be able to secure reservations for Tubing on the Mequoketa River, and that the weather will be in our favor. My concern is for this date being a holiday weekend. Thus, I will need any RSVP to be placed NO LATER than Monday (8/25) BEFORE midnight so that I can make the reservation for the group. I will make reservation in my name as well as for the Meetup group, but each will need to call to make your payment for the tube reservation no later than two days before the Float. I will make updates as needed here, so please check periodically for any updates. ESPECIALLY after noon on Tuesday, as that will be when I will post any details I need to pass on from the Tube Rental.
Include with your RSVP, in the comment section, your first and second choice of tube type ($20 each). If you are a Military member, past or present, there is a discount with military ID. Please mention this in the comments with your tube choice. (I will include a link for the Maquoketa River Rentals below) I believe we should rent a cooler tube ($15) as a group for any drinks or foods and ice. We will split that cost between the attendees. We also need to supply the cooler.
Plan on bringing foods/ snacks, drinks/ water (yes, we're on the water by we cannot drink that), sunscreen, sunglasses, Sunhat, etc. as you feel fit to include.
Maybe someone has a Bluetooth powered speaker for listening to music or such as we float.
It is suggested to be at the Shuttle Lot First between 9-10am. The Float begins approximately at 10:00, at 12521 190th St, Monticello, IA. It's a 5-6 hours float, depending on water levels. We should be off the water by 6pm.
If there are any questions or something that I may have left out, please make comments below.
