Q:
My son is 7 and just missed the cutoff age of 8 to go down the second section (outpost B). Will I be able to take him with me if he's tethered to me tube?

We waited around and we were able to go (water at 199, cutoff for age 6 was 200). It was a little rough. I hung onto his tube to try to keep him near me but it was almost impossible. I can see why tethers aren’t allowed for safety reasons.

If you depart from Outpost A (lower river) the bus is only used for the ride back to the start point. They do not require masks. Many people had them on at the main outpost where we started, but few people wore them on the bus back. We had a waterproof bag that we stored ours in during the experience and wore ours on the bus back.

Q:
How fast is the slower float? Any safety issues or injuries?
A:
You float on tubes. Self controlled. Small children were going down the same time we were... they were fine. Only danger is sunburn... wear good sunscreen.
