I've got a Subway permit for May 3rd and it looks like I'll have a couple spots open if anyone wants to join us.

The water levels look to be extremely low, at least according to the USGS Stream Flow data for the North Fork, but it is probably pretty cold so i recommend a wet or dry suit for the trip.

We are driving down from Utah County on Friday afternoon.

Let me know if you are interested

Just read the TR from the 19th. Looks like the water levels are going to be a little higher than expected but nothing compared to what it was a couple years ago.

The three of us that did the canyon in 2005 under those conditions are going on the 3rd so you will be in good hands.

Yes that should be fine, if you are willing to chip in for gas. How much canyoneering experience do you have? What other canyons have you done?

You can count me in then. I would definitely pitch in for gas. I am a noob compare to the expertise of some of the folks around here but I have done about 8-10 canyons including Das Boot, Subway, and Pinecreek in Zion.

Tanya and Shane can vouch for me not being a retard :)
(not to leave any of you others I have gone with out, I am just trying to drop the biggest names I know, haha)

OMG, I am hurt! That's it, no more invites! You are done!

PS: Adam can hold his own, we even made him swim the Sock It To Me (Class IV) rapid :haha:

Sounds good. we can chat offline to finalize some plans. It looks like we would be leaving sometime late Friday afternoon, around 3 or 4.

We would like to hit keyhole late Friday night, it's really fun in the dark. we're just trying to find a way to get the permit.... are you a member of the express permit system?
