While Senator Stevens is still trying to explain how the Internet is a series of tubes (must see: Jon Stewart clip), I'm thinking about a different kind of tube- the kind that you leisurely go down a river in.  The weather is going to be sweltering here today so I'm thinking about going tubing while I'm still on vacation.  A quick search on the 'Net yields few references to tubing in Western Washington so I may just go down the Snoqualmie or Tolt Rivers in Carnation/North Bend and hope for the best. 

Q1: Any suggestions or resources on great tubing/canoeing areas in Western Washington or a short drive from the area?

Q2: Is it time for "Geek Tubing" ala Geek Dinners?

P.S. Apologies to those who were up for a Geek Dinner in NJ, things were just too hectic for me to peel away.  I'll definitely set something up next time I'm in town.
