Did you mention in another post that you are launching on the Grand Canyon on March 25? If so we will be 3 days behind you, with 4 wood boats on our trip. Hope to see you and the new boat down in the ditch.

Hey Jeremy, It would be great to see you guys out there. We are doing 20 days. Have any flow estimates yet? One canyon guide suggested we may ave between 20-24,000. That should cover the rocks...Joe

Hard to say at this point. According to BOR we may see a lot less than that, they are projected to draw down flows starting in March to bring Lake Meade elevation down so they can do some repairs on the waterworks at the damn. So the flows would start dropping right around the time we launch. But who knows...a lot can change. 20-24k would certainly be nice, last summer we had around 12-15k and that felt pretty cushy.
