Unfortunately, my wife and I have to take a month off of work to live and play in Driggs, ID from mid-July to mid-August. It's a real shame. Since we are from Denver, we don't know the area very…Continue

We are almost done with the interior of our boat. I'm putting in an entire week to try to get it ready enough to show off at the boat show this weekend. We definitely won't have time to do any spar…Continue

First, thanks for having a great site with lots of ideas.I recently purchased a half-finished double-ender. The brief history of the boat, as I understand it, is that it was built in Idaho in the…Continue

We are in. My brother and I will be joining the float, along with a buddy. Mark, I sent you an email with a few questions.

Brant,just ran the pac.cr. to deadmans this afternoon and it was all very straight forward with no suprises if you stay in the main channel.water is clear from the launch for about 1/2 mile then it's all cloudy...have fun and beware the novice…

Kevin C. replied to Brant Jaouen's discussion 'What To Do With a Wood Boat In Jackson?'

I would reccomend that you run this stretch first before running it with a bunch of others and kids with a buddy or hang out at pac. cr. to talk to some guides that have been running it...lots of water this year and lots of change.All the…

Does anyone have any insights into how the Pacific Creek to Deadman's Bar section is floating this year (2011)? I've heard that the high water has made this section more treacherous than last year. I floated this section five…

Besides relentless sanding, any other tips on how you got all of that paint off so cleanly? Looks awesome, by the way.

Brant Jaouen replied to Andrew's discussion 'Green River & Points in Between Trip'

The North Platte is in a similar snow pack situation. It will still be very high because the reservoirs above are going to be at flood level. Also, it would probably be 4 hours out of your way to get over there. Even though it will be…

I remember reading this thread prior to our incident flipping our boat in the South Fork this summer. I guess my wife is in the Martin/Dersham camp and I remain in the Fletcher camp, since she was at the oars when we capsized. My boat has two water…

Some pics. Mostly Pacific Creek to Deadman's Bar on the Snake in Teton National Park. This is the girl who sunk my boat. Note the rope seat in the back. If anybody sees that floating in the South Fork, drop me a line. I liked it.

No debate. Just info. Don't take the wrong way. Not intended as inflammatory or insulting. Glad you are okay. Now, please post some pictures of your adventures so those of us stuck in the Midwest can enjoy it also! :)

Maiden Voyage of the "Cat O' Nine Tails"

We couldn't finish in time for the festival in Jackson, but we managed to get her out on the North Platte this weekend in Casper, Wyoming. Pretty pleased overall with the boat, although the high sides were rough in the Wyoming wind.

There's still a good amount of work to be done, as we have not installed the anchor system yet and we still need to Spar the entire interior (just expoxy right now). The System Three book says to wait two week after the…
