lancegranite Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 So fucking excited!!!! Got invited to take part in a private trip down the entire Grand Canyon. Cannot believe it! The fun part is most everyone is a climber, I cannot wait! If anyone has been down, feel free to give me the run down. WooooT! Quote
JayB Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 Good TR here: http://oregonkayaking.net/rivers/grand_canyon/grand_canyon.html Quote
kevbone Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 Right on. Was on a trip to do it and the guy with the permits ended up having a baby. Trip cancelled. Have fun Russ. Quote
lancegranite Posted February 23, 2007 Author Posted February 23, 2007 Wow, that is some TR! Wish I was going in the summer when the water is warmer. Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 The water's hardly any warmer in summer. They draw it from the bottom of Lake Powell. Quote
Matt_Anderson Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 Check your pm's for contact info - Have the same type of trip, with launch date of 3/1 and takeout date of 3/23. Plan to leave this coming thursday morning and get back 3/25 or so. We can talk beta. Quote
lancegranite Posted February 24, 2007 Author Posted February 24, 2007 Sweet, good luck! We are launching on the 10th of April. I look forward to hearing from you. Quote
griz Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 congrats,dude. It's good to see the new lottery system getting some new blood down that river vs. the fucked up old one where the same people kept going down over and over. You should check out the GC private boater site for info: http://www.gcpba.org/ and this for some pics of some of the campsites available: http://www.whitewatercampsites.com/Colorado%20-%20Grand%20Canyon/index.php Blacktail Canyon is a real winner side hike. One of my all time favorites hikes I've taken anywhere. Fun,jungle gym like scramble in a slot canyon. Deer Creek Canyon is another winner side hike. Be sure to make an offering to the river gods before Lava. Quote
Matt_Anderson Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 I pm'd you my cell phone. You may want to call after I get back on 3/26 or so. I'll be swamped, don't check the site much anymore and may not remember to check in. matt Quote
