USMC Fitness Boot Camp Briefing Room – OCOEE WHITEWATER RAFTING ...

OCOEE WHITEWATER RAFTING TRIP AUGUST 27, 2011

WHO: 15 USMC Fitness BOOT CAMP River Pirates

WHAT: All day trip on the Ocoee River

WHEN: Saturday, August 27 at 10am

WHERE: Ocoee Outdoors is the Official Outfitter for The River Pirates of USMCFBC and the top rated outfitter on the Ocoee since 1977. This will be our 7th trip with Ocoee Outdoors.

Ocoee Outdoors is located on Hiway 64 east of Cleveland, TN and about 40 minutes from Exit 5 on I-75 (northeast Chattanooga). (Map and detailed directions to follow) I’ll be staying at the Hampton Inn at Exit 5.

COST: $99 per person for the Full Day, Whole River Float. Price includes transportation from Ocoee Outdoors to and from the river, equipment rental, and lunch.

Hotels closer to Ocoee Outdoors are available and tent camping is possible as well. My personal itinerary will be: traveling to Chattanooga on Friday, spending the night, eating breakfast at Cracker Barrel on Saturday morning, rafting on Saturday, spending the night on Saturday, and traveling back to Memphis on Sunday.

Exit 5, where the Hampton is, has a number of other hotels and is across the road from a mall with tons of restaurants.

PAYMENT AND RESERVATIONS FOR THE RAFTING: Reservations are on a first come, first served basis and restricted to the first 15 who call Ocoee Outdoors with payment. Call 1-800-533-7767. Tell the person who answers that you want to pay for a spot(s) on the “Tony Ludlow Group Trip for August 27th, the all day full river trip.” (Be sure to specify that it’s the all day, full river trip.) After you call and pay, email ME and let me know how many spots you paid for (headcount purposes) and let me know how many t-shirts you’ll need and what size(s). I’m getting t-shirts made for the occasion!
