Anyone interested in floating the Gates of Lodore (Dino. N. Mt.) in Mid-August, 2008?

Anyone interested in floating the Gates of Lodore (Dino Nat. Mnt.) in Mid-August, 2008?

A friend has a permit to float the Green river thru Dinosaur National Monument this Mid-August. It includes Gates of Lodore, Whirlpool Canyon and Split Mtn. Canyon to the Split Mtn. campground. We've done it before and are looking forward to doing it again.
We would like to invite someone who is experienced at oaring a self-bailing raft on either this stretch of the Green or is skilled enough to do so.
It is a shared expense trip of 5 days on the river. You can bring your own raft or we can provide one. You can bring a friend, maybe 2.
We would like to have it decided by the 4th of July, because of the permit deadline and it takes alot to put this trip together.
This is a good overview, more details are available.
Let me know if you're interested. Thanks, Tom

go on the green

My wife and I have done the trip once before two yrs ago and would like to again. We have our own NRS 13.5' raft. We are in our 50's and like to meet new people. From Fort Collins, now staying in our motorhome in Gunnison and day rafting the area rivers.

Please consider us. You can call my cell at 970-420-4895

I'm your man

If you can deal with some idiosyncracies, I'm your guy. I do most of my boating in the nude, and I drink heavily starting in the morning while boating, but I do have solid river experience. My girlfriend would obviously need to accompany me. She also boats in the nude and also drinks heavily, but is really a charming person. Message me if you're interested.

Is this guy for real? There is no way. I think this is Grif's brother.
