How y'all are?
As with any undertaking where 'ole number uno's name is on the
line', having ALL members of a private GC trip present viable proof of
trip/liability insurance would be mandatory.
The mention (in the Elves' report) that the 'fine print' on the
permits says that 'the permit holder is responsible' is a stark eye
opener. Understand, I've never 'been there; done that' on the GC, but
in other times/places, yes. The thought comes to mind, after reading
the permit requirements listed in the NPS regulations. If a permit
holder were to 'require' that all members of the float group take out
specific insurance; could that be construed as violating any of the 'non
commercial' restrictions?
A trip permit holder (the head godzilla), knowing that none of
the members of his 'pack' (float pack as opposed to U-boat pack) would
stack $2000 chopper rides, et al, on his liable back, would certainly
sleep a lot better.
I sincerely hope/pray that Kurt fully recovers from his
injuries: and you can have that laminated for your billfold/purse.
Y'all be hang'n tough 'til the fat lady sings,
