"Toobing" on the Guadalupe River

We did this once. Believe me it's for the young un's. In those rapids are big rocks just beneath the surface. My wife had a bruise on her butt that looked a lot like Australia. Most of the toobers had a separate toob with their ice chest filled with beer floating beside them. These people get really crazy after a couple of hours. Still glad I did it once.
