    Two things: i’m seeing two different dates: 4/28 and 5/5. And...can I come if I have a foam core composite dory that I built last winter?

    Hi Randy!  I built an historical reproduction of a boat designed and built by Moulty Fulmer for his trip through the Grand Canyon in 1956. He took a McKenzie dory bottom and put a cataract boat deck on it. I took it through the Grand Canyon last July and it was phenomenal! I'd love to pull it up to the Pacific Northwest and run some of your rivers, can you give me some sources for information?  Thanks!  Doug Rickard
