We scouted black rocks, the maze was pretty impressive to me. Scouted quartzite from the left flank way above the rapid, pretty straight forward at around 6K, ran left. Corkscrew was the biggest hit for me in a 13 ft boat.

Wishing I was on DoSteps trip. Just couldn't pull off the quick turnaround. That 7-10 range has to be an absolute blast.

Big wave, you cant bitch about people wasting permits for at least a year now that you've gone and done it.
Yea I’m shamed but if you look back through this and other threads I posted on related to the Salt I offed plenty of opportunities for others to either participate or take over the permi. No takers even not PinicheCharlie. I was going with very experienced Salt River boaters the best quote was from Scott who was going to call the shots on the river was I’ve hauled my kayak on my back out of a couple of high water situations but you can’t do that with a raft. We also had 3 members get Covid before the trip it’s still out there. I had a great day skiing today grin from ear to ear life is good.

I might have a couple spots on a March 30 trip. I have 10 spots reserved on reservation, only 6 totally confirmed right now. I’ll probably keep the reservation at 10(max) just in case someone can add at last minute. Between our crew, we’ve done 900cfs up to 12,000cfs. Our cut off will be determined if flow is going up or down. Much like Quiggle explained. Hoping for nice fun 6-8,000cfs😆😂🚣‍♀️

Just before I go to bed the forecast is for 15,000+ at 2:00 Friday morning. Since I cancelled my permit I don’t have to sleep with my life jacket on or check my bowline. Hope everyone is safe out there. One person went missing yesterday.

Everyone. If you aren’t sure, don’t be a tool. Drop your permit so people who want big water can get it. It’s going to be high guaranteed. It like people taking up middle fork permits for the first of June and dropping them. It’s high water. Don’t take permits from others that have waited years for this. It’ll be nice and low in may.

From the Upper Salt FB group.... has anyone heard about this?


"Hey folks, know you’re not going until May but a crew just pulled off today two days early after having been in a rabid mountain lion attack. Story is nuts but needless to say the mountain lion is severely injured and not dead. Cat was eating a PFD at dawn and turned on the crew. Be careful out there!"

So all you folks who question my decision to cancel my March 15 permit. We could be laying over with the rabid mountain lion now that the water has finally reached 12,000. I’m a liberal and would have left my gun at home and would have had to fight him off with my welding gloves and my Randal Knife.
