This is a reminder that boaters at any level of skill/experience can make mistakes and get stuck. It also is a reminder that there are members of congress who will actually look into some matters as it pertains to rivers and river access. If these places matter to us, we need to let our representatives know each year and support organizations that will lobby on behalf of the rivers.
Not really a question, but a good topic and a cool video of the rescue. The gear retrieval seemed like it was quite a project too, according to the article.
Topic: Middle Fork
Hey we are headed out on the Middle Fork on the 29th. I was just wondering what you thought about the rapids that have changed from the main descriptions?
The level will probably be about 2.5 or so if the forecast holds.
In particular can we still go left at velvet? I’ve seen video at low water of right side runs.
Anything you can add will be appreciated.
We plan to scout Pistol and maybe Lake Creek (thoughts).
