Itinerary:

 Repost from Rainout/Lightning out!  Everyone from my previous trip has till Sunday night to let me know they want to be added, then its fair game!!

The Edge of the World is a set of swimming holes and rapids that are calm enough to swim in and slide on.  There are some slides that can push you under water, so the ability to swim is preferred.  Anyone that is not a strong swimmer should still come and bring a small life jacket just in case.

 

It does appear the the GORP pass is required for this trip so we should all try to carpool in one or two vehicles to take advantage of my group pass.  It allows for 1 vehicle and 8 passengers.  Everyone else will have to either purchase a pass or ride with another member that has a group pass.  I hope I will have a good turnout and plenty of group passes on the trip.
