Gates of Lodore rafting

[Alex]

Took my family down Green River through Gates of Lodore section. It's four day trip. The flow was very very low ~850 cfs during rapids, which made for a rock scraping trip down the rapids. The camps we got were: Curtis & Wade (awesome site!), Wild Mountain (so so) and Jones Hole 3 (my new favorite camp). At low flow you have to go left of Lucifer at Hell's Half mile, I never done that before so it was different for me. We hit a lot of sand bars on the way down, but the water was so clear so it was very helpful to avoid the rocks. The afternoon winds were nasty as always and the rolling thunderstorms were intense.

Thanks! I decided to try something different this time and got carried away. Rowing for hours against the wind starts you thinking of stuff :)
