http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h261/dreamer1978/yac/steakday_poster.jpg This is just the perfect weekend getaway with old and new adventurers alike. Let's get together over tubing, camping, and steak day and enjoy the treasures of the Shenandoah River & Valley often referred to as the "Shenandoah Experience." We're close by Luray Caverns & Shenandoah National Park, too. This will be the 38th year that the Shenandoah outfitters will be celebrating their famous tubing and steak day. I've had friends rave about their Tubing and Steak Day event in the past and have been meaning to do this. Itinerary Come and enjoy a relaxing day of fellowship with friends tubing, swimming and picnicking in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley on the Shenandoah River. The outing begins in the morning on the river which flows between the Blue Ridge and Massanutten Mountains and though the George Washington National Forest. We're going to tube down the Shenandoah River. Once that's done, we'll head back and enjoy the outfitter's specialty of a mouth watering, juicy steak cooked over an open fire, in the outfitter's open-air Pavilion. This is the outfitter's specialty and so many people love coming up here on a Saturday. You have to experience it for yourself! Please note if you are a vegetarian when paying so we can let the outfitters know. Cost. Before July 7th deadline.

Carpooling options Please list if you can drive or wish to be driven and from where. Please list that in the comments box on the left hand side where it says, "talk about this meeting."
