Tubing down the Elkhorn
Working off of Tyna's idea, I've done some more digging.

Because of the early flooding this year, it had filled up the outfitter's schedule until Labor Day weekend (Sept 4, 5, 6), unless people are willing and able to do a ... Read moreFriday afternoon (which I figure isn't very likely).

After speaking with the owner, there are some changes this year. First, no deposit (was $5). In addition, the price has changed to $18 per person, which will also cover the cost of a cooler tube, which holds a 52 qt. cooler (you supply the cooler). The cost of the cooler tube is typically $21).

The trip lasts 4 - 5 hours. We leave vehicles at the end point and the outfitter carries us and tubes to the start point.

I'm shooting for Saturday, Sept 4. Remember, this is Labor Day weekend. There isn't a minimum number of people required, so........it could be 2 or 20.....up to you. ;-)

Tubing and Fun
Tubing and Adventures provides a Saturday or Sunday float trip down the Elkhorn River or a 2 day overnight trip. The prices seem pretty affordable. I know someone mentioned tubing before. Just a thought.

Kayak/Canoe/Tube down Platte River

Maybe someone out there does. If we could get a group together, I'd be more than happy to ... Read moreprovide refreshments! ;)

Geocache
I think we should meet up and try some geocaching! I've done it a few times, and it's a pretty nice saturday afternoon activity. I have a handheld GPS, and am willing to share. Also there's a ton of geocaches in the area ... Read more

The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment.

Softball
I don't really know much about it in this area, but was wondering if anyone would be interested in setting up a softball league for this spring/summer?

Snow Skiing
I am going to put together 1 maybe 2 ski trips this winter. The two nearest resorts that I know of are the Snowy Range Ski Area: http://www.snowyrangeski.com/index.html, and the Eldora Mountain Resort: http://www.eldora.com/. Both are ... Read more8.5 hours from Omaha. Personally I find the pre-Christmas time frame too hectic for ski trips and I would prefer going anytime in Jan-Mar. If interested, please post or send me the dates you will be available to go. I have not been to either resort and I certainly don't feel constrained to these resorts if some of you have more preferred resorts compatible with the dates available for all parties interested in going. Naturally, this is early for planning ski trips; so, I will not expect people to know their schedules in advance and I am primarily interested in the number of people that want to go at this time for the purposes of planning only. If you know your schedule and can commit to dates at this time, all the better.
