If you mean the river access list server, I'll post it there.
Here's how you get on:
Send a message to list.manager@hydrosphere.com containing the
following:
subscribe riveraccess
end

Well, I can't say that you're absolutely right, but on the
rivers I run now (kid-friendly runs) you are. I think
Canyonlands is a notable exception. Other folks may want to tell
us what other systems are in place out there.
I don't believe in lotteries as a rationing method. But, on
the other hand, "eventually" becomes pretty insulting when it's
10 or 15 years and I could just hop on a commercial trip (with
my visa card).
