There’s nothing quite like loading up on breakfast tacos at Taco Taco Cafe and floating through Hill Country with a cooler full of beer.
@IPukeOregonGrellow so back in good old days of river floats, one had to buy big old tractor tire inner tubes from Les Schaub, get some free beef, and fill them up at a gas station (or have an air compressor you could run off your car). The new technology is far, far better.

At any rate, how did that work back in the old day in Oregon. Did you have to say fill my tube, Duck?
Les Schwab and air pumping is the domain of the Boovs.
It's kind of sad that I live in the HQ town of Les Schwab and I will never buy tires there.

I'm Team Discount Tire all the way.

You sound poor

.....and reasonable

Not sure I follow @dannarc

I feel like Les Shwab is the go to for off brand, shitty tires.

I run Michelins (excluding my Bridgestone snow tires) and Discount is the place for the premium name brands.

Overpriced shitty tires. Pay a 20-30% per tire yocharge for that amazing Schwab service that never really is that amazing.

I needed an account somewhere close by to be a good farmer so I went with them. Next set of car or truck tires will be from somewhere else, most likely one of the backyard tire shops run by Mexican dudes.

No love for the Duwamish or the Green. What do you have against raw sewage and floating bodies, guys?

And I second the vote for Discount Tire. Schwab has really gone downhill and the rest are ripoff artists.

The river in Missoula is great for tubing.
I’ve swum in the Clark Fork @RoadDawg55 where it seemed like good floating.

My cousin used to jump off a 40 foot railroad trestle over the CF. As a middle aged adult looking back 30 years, it seems insane.

Now he's a degenerate jailbird who barely sees his son...

Big O is good.

They could have ripped Bill off a couple times, but didn't. I refer to myself in 3rd person because I'm psychotic.

Rogue River

Do people inner the Rogue much @DerekJohnson ? I never thought of it as a "lazy river" but more of a spot for whitewater activities.
You definitely don't want to tube the Rogue. Very rough for tubing
A 17 year old HS kid died on the Deschutes this year.

A buddy a year below me in school gurggled the Deschutes in our early twenties. Really fucking sad.

I had some Big O tires once back in Utah @Fire_Marshall_Bill . Fucking terrible in the snow. Huge improvement once I got some Michelin LTS Mud/Snows.

Bad day on the Deschutes recently of Darwin Awards. Six floaters put in on the quite stretch of the Deschutes above Dillon Falls. Six tubes tied up going backwards and they weren't paying attention about Dillon Falls and the danger there. 1 Dead and probably 2 more bodies to be recovered. https://katu.com/news/local/search-continues-for-two-missing-after-group-goes-over-dillon-falls-on-deschutes-river-sheriffs-office-rescue-central-oregon

I've never been there, but the pic looks like something a conscious person should see coming from upstream. A 20' horizon line is fairly obvious.

Or you ask around and find out if any dangerous spots exist where you're thinking about floating. JFC

You never inner tube any river without know exactly what class of water is below. So much fucking stupidity.

Everyone is blaming the "big inner tube" industry around here saying "Go Float the Deschutes!". But I feel like that implies you float the lazy river in the middle of town.

I guess you gotta blame someone and few want to go around publicly blaming dead people.

@chuck We do have rather large river inner tubing military industrial complex here so maybe they need to start doing some public awareness campaigns to educate the dumb dumbs.
