About the Event
Tubin the HOOCH
(A Venture Unknown Patreon Exclusive)
Join us for an unforgettable adventure as we float down the scenic Chattahoochee River, soaking in the sun and the refreshing waters on a laid-back tubing trip with fellow Venture Unknown Patreons. After an afternoon on the river, we'll head up to the breathtaking heights of Tray Mountain, where we'll set up camp beneath a sky full of stars. Enjoy the crisp mountain air, the warmth of a crackling campfire, and the camaraderie of the VU community as we share stories, laughs, and maybe even a little campfire cooking. This is more than just a trip—it’s a chance to disconnect, recharge, and make lasting memories in the wild. Don’t miss out on this exclusive experience!
Dates: June 27-29, 2025
Friday, June 27, as we gather at base camp on Tray Mountain, welcoming friends old and new for a relaxing evening by the fire. Set up camp, enjoy some good food, swap stories, and maybe even sip a well-earned cocktail under the stars.
Saturday, June 28, starts slow and easy—wake up at your own pace, grab some breakfast, and get ready for a day of fun! We’ll make our way down into historic Helen, GA, where we’ll rally at the tubing outpost, grab our tubes, and embark on a two-hour float down the refreshing Chattahoochee River. Expect nothing but cool waters, laughter, and pure relaxation as we drift along. Afterward, we’ll return to camp on Tray Mountain, where the fire will be roaring, and the VU crew will celebrate another incredible day in the wild!
Sunday, June 29, the adventure isn’t over just yet! Before heading home, join us for a scenic, stock-friendly off-road drive over Tray Mountain and Corbin Creek FSR, soaking in the last bit of adventure before we part ways.
