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! Jim | Aww, Dave, you're breaking my heart!!

Sjeez Jim, aren't you getting bored of that same old Canyon now that
you've seen it all so often? ;-) Wilko Jim Michaud wrote: That's exactly what I'll be doing this coming weekend.

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? Leslie "Jim Michaud" jim_mic(at)msn.com wrote in message ... That's exactly what I'll be doing this coming weekend.

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. |

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? --riverman |

--riverman 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! |

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? --riverman |
