No beer bongs, or fornicating in public. No styrofoam ice chest or glass bottles. No loud music, especially rap. No vulgar language or nudity. No public defecation or urination. You will be hauled to jail for public intoxication. There are cops at every crossing bridge.

Have fun!:toast

Start at Lazy L & L go to the Gruene, it should take about 5-7 hours.

That's great it's legal in San Marcos. Doesn't the sun lower women's risk of getting breast cancer?

$40 something to go on one trip down the Guadalupe at Schiltterbahn or $13 for a tube and $10 for a case of beer? I'd take the latter, sir.

Not if you get your tickets discounted.

You can get 2 tickets for $50 from Angel_Luv at the Mall.


Depends, if you looking for a day of relaxation, then floating down the river is probibily your best choice.

However, if having fun is your goal, then Schiltterbaun should be your first choice.

I remember Angel's 2 tickets for $50 thing. Good deal. Plus the lunch thing too right?

They're different experiences, like you said. Schlitterbahn is a whole day adventure, up and moving and walking to ride after ride after ride. A trip down the river there is just another attraction. And it'll add up if you have a whole family, too. I mean, you can pack the coolers and everything too but there's the extra food and the shirts and the other crap too. On top, of the things you can buy at the mall.

The river, can add up, though, if it's a family affair. Food, tubes with bottoms, drinks, dinner on the way home, etc. But, if you just get a tube and some beers it's a lot cheaper. The river can be exciting, just depends on what you make it.

We tube the Comal at night...it's a fucking blast. No one to fuck around with, no big brother watching, it's awesome. We put in at around 9pm/10pm at Landa park, park a car where we get out near Schlitterbahn, and float till about 12/1am. Sometimes we're go down twice.

I went tubing there for about 3 yearss when I first moved down there. You have to ignore all the pissing that goes on in the river. That was tough but the beer and my pisssing made it easier. But then one day I saw a 40 something black women laughing hysterically climbing back in to her tube and one guy in her group started yelling " She shit in the river, she shit in the river" Of course a few feet away was her shit floating along. Everyone in ear shot jumped into the river and paddled as fast as they could around it. It was so disgusting.Last time I went tubbing anywhere.

That's just it...no one is there at night...you might see a few other late night tubers but that's rare....but there's definitely no authorities around and it's perfectly legal. The water is only cold until you get used to it...maybe the first 10 minutes or so but then it's all good. The only thing I wont do at night is the chute. Most of my group goes and nothing has ever happened, I just won't do it anymore. It really is a lot of fun...everyone we tell about it pusses out until they actually go and they end up having so much fun, that's the only way they'll go anymore. The hard part is actually getting people to go at night.
