Open boat? canoe? dory? Raft? Jim Schelander first open canoed the Grand
in 1979 or so. I don't have the beginning of this thread. You want to know
if he went left ot right at crystal or what? The best thing is to look at a
rapid when you get there and based on the flow dicide rather than used
someone else's plan. One of the new guide books gives a rapid by rapid
description, but fails to consider flows very much. I canoed it in 1990, but
wouldn't want to give advice based on flows and rapids 14 years ago. Lava
has changed quite a bit in the past 10 years. Or how about the flows when I
paddled C-1 in 1980 at 55,000?
