THE DRIFTERS

THE DRIFTERS is GTD'S 1 day inner tubing trip to one of Florida's beautiful spring fed rivers. This year we will be floating down Weeki Wachee River. If you want a lazy day meandering away from the stresses of life as you float down an amazing liquid paradise then THE DRIFTERS is for you! Manatees, otters, and fish of all sorts may be just a few of the wildlife you encounter while skimming down one of Florida's incredible rivers. THE DRIFTERS will renew your energy & increase your praise as you appreciate the workmanship of God while you enjoy another one of His masterpiece creations. It's incredible what God can do in our lives when we take time to rest and be still. Prayer, fellowship and a God-awesome Christian atmosphere will help make THE DRIFTERS a blessing to your life.

ABOUT WEEKI WACHEE RIVER
River: Weeki Wachee River <> Location: Spring Hill, FL <> Tube Duration: 4 hrs
Sun Exposure: 85% <> Water Temp: 72 degrees F
 
"The Seminole Indians named the spring "Weeki Wachee," which means "little spring" or "winding river." The springhead is so deep that the bottom has never been found. Each day, more than 117 million gallons of clear, fresh 72-degree water bubbles up out of subterranean caverns. Deep in the spring, the surge of the current is so strong that it can knock a scuba diver's mask off. The basin of the spring is 100 feet wide with limestone sides and there the current runs a strong five miles an hour. The Weeki Wachee River winds its way 12 miles to the Gulf of Mexico."
