Well..my Salt River (and Rich's, and Daves) permit request's were rejects! :-( Well I guess its time to get the boat packed up and ready to rush out to The Dirty Devil when the time comes! Still got apps. riding on San Juan, Gates of Ladore, Yampa, MF Salmon and The Grand!

IK's, and or Packrafts Yes.
dNally was in again today getting last minute stuff again. I guess Sonny will be showing up here a week from tomorrow, spend the night at Daves and then drive over to Lees Ferry together on Saturday. I'm going to try hard to get time off to hike down at Lava and see you guys? Hope your trip is awesome as it sounds!

awesome. be great to see you if you can make it. i haven't met dave yet, looking forward to it. if he can still stand me after 30 days on the GC, i'd be interested in seeing if i could join y'all for the DD in the spring. i've been wanting to do it for years now...

Daves damn casual and very cool. I don't think he has an enemy in the world? My guess is that you'll hit it off well for the 30 days!

Heck yeah we'll let you know on the DD! Just have to be ready at a moments notice, which I honestly believe that you're always ready and willing to go?! Cheers Dan!

There is a lower section of the Salt that is usually easier to get a permit for, not as popular as the upper whitewater section. It's mostly calm water with a few significant rapids, one used to be tough but some guy blew it up with dynamite and did some time in prison for it. Still need a permit from the forest service not the tribe. Put in at Gleason Flat ( need 4wd vehicle) and take out at the Bridge before Lake Roosevelt. It's about 30 miles.
Here are some pics of some of that area, but it's from hiking in from some side canyons.

Thank you for the info. Yeah....we were hoping to put in at the upper on the Res. Oh well...we have feelers out for several other rivers and hope is not lost yet. As Dan said, we're really hoping for The Dirty Devil as well and it should be running not long after what we had applied for on The Salt?

BTW: Gorgeous Pictures!
