Good news from what I can gather off of the widstoe snotel location… Looks like snowpack is now well above average, and if we can maintain the current pack, and add an average amount to it the rest of the year, we are going to be in good shape this year.
So this is my preliminary call to some folks who may want to make it happen. I envision a good long float and some great canyons, sometime in late may hopefully, though I suppose that is still up in the air. Looking for partners to try and make it happen.
Obviously, lots of variables still, but, my hopes are high with the recent big snowfalls… Anyone thinking of making it happen this year? Let’s do it!

I am going to be along the river mid month doing slots. If the timing works, would love random hook ups. Ram

Hey Dan, > I am planning on renting a couple of duckies and floating the Escalante in late May with one or two friends. Definitely want to get some tech slots in during the adventure, but if the buddies wimp out, I might be SOL (Not really up to solo descents in canyons that are new to me.) I am interested in trying to hook up with other folks to maximize the time spent down below Hole-in-the Rock rd. I was thinking of hitting the river at the highway bridge, not too sure yet where I want to take out. What are your thoughts?
