East, Huh? #2 looks kinda Selway-esque but that's North from ya.
We did the Green River's Flaming Gorge/ Red Canyon 'A' and 'B' sections a couple days ago; here's my kid threading between a hole on his left and a wave on his right:

Which reminds me: Anybody want to do Desolation-Gray next week (Tuesday - Sunday)? I have room on my permit.
We musta just missed you - our crew ran Flaming Gorge A & B from 8/26 - 8/28, then floated the flatwater of Section C on 8/29 to Gates of Lodore for a permit that was for Weds. 8/30 - Sun. 9/3.Quote:

We could see the higher water lines, I imagine that section of the Green is insane during heavy flows.

Awesome! We had a great time doing Deso. It was nice to be out on such a beautiful, remote stretch of river, and to have it (usually) all to ourselves.
Here's Mz Bobz, and our rigs:

Some good hiking; this is Rattlesnake Canyon:
Attachment 469891
I think this one's Coal Creek rapid; there were a few sort of like this, where there was an entry to get right (in this case, go between the pour-over rock and some holes on the right), and everything is fine from there:

Tomorrow, I return to the Flaming Gorge area to do the 'C' part and the rest of the way to Gates of Lodore. All part of this year's project to do the whole thing from the dam to the confluence (though not in order). After that, it's just Stillwater left to do.

Approx 60Kcfs in the confluence.
Maui wave is in.
Nice

That was a close call for sure. He was in pretty rough shape
Holy fuk. So lucky.
Sent from my iPhone using TGR Forums
he was chugging water for a long time but appeared to be awake thru it all, I don't think he lost consciousness

Stopped off at one of our favorite waterfalls on the river run Sat.
spent the day putting a new STAR paragon IK through the paces on the Columbia,
handles like my hardshells,
70 degrees and flat-calm
i'm happy that I got to spend a few years on these forums before the AI Overlords took control,
hope to see you out there,
RT out ......

Yampa is such a great trip - never gets old visiting the tiger wall. Have never been that early - looks like a great time was had.
Looks like a great trip.
