Welcome all. I'm turning 50 this year so I've teaming up with my closest friends and family to throw one hell of a party. My great friend and local Salida legend Taylor Boone is hosting this event and he's graciously invited Soul Atomic & Friends to join forces for an amazing gathering of family and friends, along with a special birthday celebration for Will Evans (Soul Atomic) .
Whitewater Rafting / Mt. Princeton Hot Springs Pool Party / River Rave
Musical Guests Include:
Soul Atomic, Hot T, Que, The Bordas Brothers & More
We are really excited to have everyone join us for this event. Please fill out each section of the RSVP so we can plan accordingly. The cost per person for the event is $45.00 (Everyone Pays), this covers your admission to both the Pool Party & River Rave. You are responsible for all other costs including RIVER TRIP, CAMPING, LODGING or PERSONAL EXTRAS at Mt. Princeton Hot Springs or Independent Whitewater.
Space is limited to 200 participants, this is an open invitation beyond family and friends and this event will absolutely SELL OUT. Please RSVP so I can make sure family and friends are taken care of before the General Announcement July 1st. The RSVP for the event will close on June 30th
EACH PERSON GOING MUST COMPLETE THE RSVP :)

A detailed information website about travel and lodging will be going live June 1st. The short version is this: If you want comfort and style I suggest renting a room at Mt. Princeton Hot Springs (Pool Party Venue) or a local Airbnb, hotel, etc. Most places are within 20min of both venues.
The cheapest ($10) and easiest option if you want to camp on the river where the overnight rave is, it is STRONGLY ENCOURAGED that you plan on arriving Friday night or Saturday morning by 10:00am (Even if you are not going on the river).
Space at the river is first come first serve with no reservations, it will absolutely fill up by Saturday afternoon. Most of the locals will be arriving Saturday morning and space will go fast. The camping will have amplified music all night long so plan accordingly for your comfort and sleeping. There are other camp sites a short drive away if you don't want the noise all night.
LIMITED HOURLY SHUTTLE SERVICE WILL BE AVAILABLE BETWEEN MT. PRINCETON, INDEPENDENT WHITE WATER, AND SALIDA.
