Hello Ronna!

I hope this is going to the folks who have the 25th Aug trip & need a
couple boats. Because I have a couple boats!

First my dory: a 16-footer (made in good old Seattle...) which has been
down the GC three times now. Don't worry, the dory can carry its share of
the stuff, especially stuff which never seems to find a good home on rafts
- like toilet paper & paper towels, tortillas, pockets, plastic kitchen
boxes - you get the drift. Me, I've been down the GC 17 times, mostly
private but some commercial with Grand Canyon Dories. I can cook anything
which will fit in a dutch oven, help with menu planning logistics etc., in
fact some people are advising me to write a cookbook .(I have made on the
river for example: Pork Loin in Green Peppercorn Sauce, Rack of Lamb with
Hunan Marinade and Five Spice Sauce, Terriyaki Roast Turkey, Cajun
Chicken, and the list goes on.

Next the raft: I do have a friend I have been down the GC with a couple
times who has a 16' Shoshoni raft and he is more than available 25 August.

Finally the Catarafts: I have a 14' cataraft and have several friends with
them. They can carry a surprising amount of gear (6 rockets and assorted
baggage is common) and could be added to the trip as necessary. They are
very fun to watch as well. On out last trip last fall our cataraft only
flipped in Lava, and that only because he got sideways in the right side
v-wave...

We are all fun, easy-going people with lots of desert river running experience.

Well, let me know if any of this interests you. I'm used to putting trips
together via e-mail.

Cheers

Dennis Turville
