The River Rockin' takes place the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the summer months of June, July and August.
This means this coming Thursday is another Trinity River Inner Tubing Happy Hour day.
I saw the Trinity River yesterday as I drove over the bridge heading east on Randol Mill Road. The river has turned a very interesting shade of green.
Did the 2nd Rockin' the River Inner Tubing Happy Hour see an increase or decrease in the number of floaters?
Is the Trinity River turning green due to the water warming up, due to the HOT weather, causing algae and other bad stuff to grow?
You reading this in the Pacific Northwest and wondering why anyone would have concerns about inner tubing in a river, well, the Trinity River is not like pristine Pacific Northwest rivers. It is more like a ditch or a slough.
In the Pacific Northwest context, going inner tubing in the Trinity River would be like going inner tubing in the Straits of Juan de Fuca off the coast of Victoria, British Columbia. With the Straits of Juan de Fuca being a waterway in which Victoria pumps raw, untreated sewage.
However, if you went inner tubing in the Straits of Juan de Fuca, off the coast of Victoria, the polluted water would be your only thing to look out for. You would not be sharing the water with scary fish like alligator gar. Or actual alligators. Or snapping turtles. Or snakes like water moccasins.
What is the reason the Trinity River Vision Boondoggle has added Happy Hour Inner Tube Floats to its vision? How much do the Happy Hours cost? Is the cost being covered completely by the sponsors?
Are J.D. Granger and his mom, Kay, going to be in the Trinity River on Thursday? If not, why not?
