Tubing in Maryland

Yesterday, Mark and I did just about the most fun summer thing we have ever done in Maryland. We went tubing on the river with a bunch of friends. We were on the Gunpowder Falls River (which does not actually have any falls where we were) near Monkton. Unfortunately, I did not bring my camera so here are a couple of pictures from the web to give you a very faint idea of just how beautiful, fun, and refreshing it really was.

This first picture gives you an idea of the serene beauty.


















Our group wasn't quite this big and we had the old fashioned black rubber tubes--we were much cooler than this group. Also, we walked down a beautiful rock path in a forest and then climbed down a steep river bank to get into the water (instead of this weird, open, industrial looking space.)
