by dlluinstra @, Thursday, July 29, 2010, 07:12 (41 days ago)

All

The permit holder (PH) is having trouble finding ppl for his 9/24 GC trip.
This is a prime shoulder season launch date.
Right now the big need is for ppl to row rafts. (prior raft experience would
be good but not required.)
Any body rowing a raft could bring an additional person or two.

The number of passenger/kayakers will depend on the number of rafts.
The PH intends to keep the trip to 10 ppl.

This is a 21 day trip Lees to Diamond with shuttle, food and rental gear
provided by Moenkopi Outfitters, the ESTIMATED cost is $1300 Flagstaff to
Flagstaff. not including your booze and sodas

Please call me if you have an interest in joining this trip.

This is a prime shoulder season launch date. The weather will be moderate.

Feel free to pass this info on to your buds who might be interested. Have
them e-mail or phone me (931-863-3592).

I you are interested do not tarry, the permit will be returned soon if the
PH does not have ppl for the trip.

What does "prime shoulder season" mean?

Summer season - temps 90+ at night to 110+ during the day
Winter season - long nights, winter boating and the warm place is you sleeping bag

Shoulder Seasons - spring and fall milder temps, 'prime season IMO'

I may be interested... Got to check in at work this week and see if it is feasible for me to get that much time off... I have oar rigged on class 2 water before, but have raft guided for 3 summers in CO and NC. Been on the westwater canyon stretch of the CO River before. I will repost as soon as I find out
