Remember to start getting those permits in. If you're applying for the Salt, it's due at the office by next Thurs.
Most others are the end of the month...
So.... what are y'all applying for?
For me:
Salt, San Juan, Green, and 3 Rivers.

Doin the Grand daddy of em all in about 50 days. Applied for the Rogue,four rivers and maybe the San Juan,maybe deso/gray too.
I got to do the San Juan,,labyrinth,Yampa and Lodore last year so need to focus my resources on somethin different. Not that i'd say no to either of those again....So local it hurts...

Good luck, I tried the same date for the same thing and failed...high demand due to the fourth and predicted good flow. Have had horrible luck with the 4 rivers ( except got the Snake one year). Trying for the Main Salmon this year, maybe mid July. Maybe Lodore as well. Originally Posted by Conundrum

I'm confused,they haven't run the 2010 lottery yet,how'd you get one for 2012? Was this a pre-existing permit from before the new lottery system? Originally Posted by Tye 1on

congrats tye!
i put in for the 4 rivers... all mid-july launches when the water should be family-friendly.
speaking of which, can anyone suggest some beta on the san juan in late march? is it worth doing the whole thing or can the sand island - mexican hat stretch be skipped? if we skipped, it would mean basically a more leisurely trip on the rest of the river. if we should do the whole thing, is 5 nites/6 days enough for a leisurely pace? we'd want to let the kids sleep in on the cold march mornings and get camp setup early enough to enjoy a pre-dinner pbr.

Yeah,you can easily skip the Sand Island section and use the put-in at Mexican Hat. A lot of folks do this. I prefer doing the whole thing.(SI to clay hills). You can easily do the float beneath Mexican Hat in five days..or four or even three

no permit needed for IL
No permit necessary. Very little traffic, but ridiculously beautiful. So much better than the Rogue you really can't compare. I did it over memorial day weekend last year, which is later than you can usually run it, and it was as low as I would ever go back in there with a raft, I think 600-700ish. At that flow my fully-loaded 14' oar boat with passengers was a hell of a lot of work. Three full days, with day two and Green Wall getting my full attention. Slept well that night.

The stretch above mexican hat should not be skipped it has the best ruins, pictographs and petroglyphs. Butler wash is super sweet. I usually do a layover day in the upper stretch because of the super good hiking opps. if you can go see the poncho house ruin it is really nice. The san jaun doesn.t have rapids but has very good consistant drop. So the river flows along at a fairly fast pace. Prolly can do 20 miles in 4 to 5 hours no problem. Originally Posted by Bart T

This is extortion:
4230 apps x $15 = $63,450Dinosaur 2009 High Use Boating Lottery Application
2009 Fee Schedule
$15.00 Application Fee
$185.00 Multi-Day Permit Fee
300 launches x $185 = $55,500

Filled out my San Juany permit app today. Hopefully i can get two yrs in a row. Shooting for early June,third choice was july 5. Fingers crossed. It's nice having the good flows in june,it's got a fast current. But its also nice having the low water in July-when the waters a nice green.
So local it hurts...
