Aww, Dave, you're breaking my heart!! I want that link to move in 3D down
the canyon, up that side wall, across the shelf, and on up the next
level....

That's exactly what I'll be doing this coming weekend. I'll be getting the
full 3-D effect as I paddle my canoe through the Grand Canyon for the next
eighteen days. Yee-ahh!

Sjeez Jim, aren't you getting bored of that same old Canyon now that
you've seen it all so often? ;-)

I ran it in my canoe at the end of August ... what a blast! I didn't know
you could actually get rollercoaster stomach in a canoe -- last wave in
Hermit! Had some interesting swims too -- that's the 4the dimension! I'm
actually just editing pictures and video right now. What are you paddling?

Did you actually run Lava in your canoe?

A friend of mine had a very deep swim there, and afterward
her lungs were never the same.

I usually paddle either an inflatable kayak (IK) or row a raft
(if you're asking in general). Some of my friends IKed the Canyon
with no swims, but I think they sneaked Lava.

What's the current open boat route through Lava? I haven't been down since
before the big washouts in (when was the first one which Drifter was there
for; 1994?) Before that, there was the Bubble Line run (through the V Wave)
where my friend Garret got postage stamped on the black rock, swam from his
OC, and actually went under the rock through a tunnel in the riverbed
boulders that had never had been known before (or searched out since, I
believe). After the first debris flow, I believe the main run was on the
left, and an open boater could pick a class 3+ (out of 6) line through the
pourovers and rocks. Since then, I believe the current has scoured out the
left side again making the left run too shallow, and that Lava is again
beginning to look like itsoldself, with the low-water run through the Vwave,
the high water run down the center-left side skirting the ledgehole.

But I could be wrong about all this...I was always looking at it with a
rafter's eye. My Open Boaters' eye had me washed ashore in pieces many miles
upstream already. Anyone got historical route details for open boats?

I too am interested in any good open boat information for the Grand Canyon
in general. I will be the only open boat on a trip in March. Could be
interesting!

If you have some free time in Flagstaff, contact Garrett Schniewind at
Canyon Explorations. He's OCed it many times, and can give you lots of
input. In general, though, stay left.

Left at Crystal (Slate Creek run)
Left at Lava
Left at Hermit, Hance and Grapevine
Left at Badger, Soap Creek
Left at Dubendorff....

Weird how that happens, eh?
