If these numbers are accurate, I don't think the permit fees or the
cancellation policy is the problem. Outfitters have a right to make a
living but NOT at the cost of private boaters waiting 10 - 16 years because
of an imbalanced permit allotment. After all, the Canyon is owned by the
tax payers, not the outfitters.
