Saturday I went with a couple of the Duke computer science people to Hanging Rock State Park in North Carolina. We hiked the few miles from the parking lot to the rocks and took some nice pictures and enjoyed the view.

After the hike we went straigth to the tubing place about an hour away where we met up with more people and set out on the tuping “cruise”. This was my first time tubing and I had never heard of the concept before, but it is actually a great and relaxing experience drifting slowly down a wide river with your butt in the water and a floating cooler by your side, I would definitely like to do this again some time.

More pictures here. You will notice that the waters of the Dan River are quite brown, the river was quite muddy due to a storm the night before our trip.
