Howdy,

We've drawn a permit for a launch in late June. We have nearly 1/2 of
our group of 24 who have run the river before. However we can't seem
to decide how many boats to take.

We will have 2 kayakers and tenetively 2 paddle and 3 16' oar boars.
There are also going to be several in the inflatable boats (single
person.

Does that sound right? I've done several other rivers and it seems a
liitle short but the more experienced folks say thats just about right.
Any one have any input?

Thanks,
NAte

I don't know much about rafts and generally speaking don't want to, but
I can suggest this: be sure you have sufficient raft support to carry
most of your kayakers and duckists AND their boats. If one kayaker
dislocates his shoulder and two or three of the duckists prove too
unskilled for the whitewater, you will be in big trouble if you have no
extra places in the rafts.
