Floating the Salt River

By
Real Estate Agent with Retired

It has been HOT lately, so we thought it would be fun to float down the Salt River.  The drive is only about an hour drive East of Goodyear.  We used Salt River Tubing for our tubes and our shuttle rides.  It was only $25 dollars and they really make it easy.  It really was a refreshing morning.  The water was perfect!

We even had the chance to see some wild horses enjoying some time riverside, too.

If you take a look at the videos, I would really appreciate some feedback.  One of the three did great.  One did okay and one did fair.  I did get 9 new subscribers in 24 hours.  Likes, comments and suggestions are all welcome.  Thank you!

Ray, with your very HOT temperatures, this does look like the way to spend a day on the water!   How fun, haven't done that in years.

Have never done this before Ray, but you do make it look like something to try...well, at least maybe once!

Thank you, Kat Palmiotti.  I liked the horses the best, too.  It is interesting, though.  I have over 1,600 views for the horse video while the bird video just went over 4,500 views.  I do not understand the Youtube algorithms.

It was a nice change of pace from my morning pickleball routine, Carol Williams.  I stayed much cooler and way more relaxed!

I am not sure why they call it the Salt River, Ed (Edward) Silva, 203-206-0754.  It was very clear and fresh and I did see a lot of fresh water fish swimming around.

I have been trying to figure out the last time I went tubing, Joan Cox.  I think it was when I was a kid, maybe 45 to 50 years ago.  I can remember that I could hardly stand up in the moving water.  I can also remember that that water was icy cold on the Mokelumne River in Northern California.

It almost brings the stress level down as much as being beach side in a tropical paradise enjoying the shade and a cool beverage.  It is a lot cheaper, too, Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS.  😃

Thanks for sharing this cooling experience.

Our Labor Day parade was cancelled due to excessive heat concerns.

It looks like it. We've taken our kids on trips like this or even whitewater rafting. It's so much fun!

Hi Ray:

Looks like a fun thing to do and stay a bit cooler, given your temps! And the price was right. Really enjoy the photos!

I'll take a look at the video's too!

Thank you very much, Jeff Dowler, CRS.  Luckily, I think our temperatures are going to start moderating soon.  I hope it is not just my wishful thinking. 😃
