Narrows Opening Pool – 2011

I’ve watched the river for a long time and I feel very confident in my choice. In fact, I feel so confident that I have scheduled to be the first descent of Imlay (this season) on that day.

Logistics: put your selected date and name below, IN DATE ORDER. Only ONE PERSON can choose each date. Be sure to respond to the MOST RECENT posting of this that includes all entries to date. Persons who bungle the logistics are DQ’d by me, immediately. All decisions final. Do not delete other people’s entries… have FUN!

Please leave the directions at the top. Duplicate prizes will be awarded where I have placed duplicate names if that is the date. Do not place a duplicate date/name yourself. Yes there was some confusion in the frenzy. Oh well. This was supposed to be self-managing; but then again, it is attachment that causes suffering.

I put Randi back on with her ridiculous but sentimental date, only because we do not expect Randi to find the directions, let alone follow them.

Here is the official list to work from:
June 3 – Mike Jessop
June 4th- Christian Rightler
June 6 – Ryan Hull
June 9 – Glen Hampton
June 10th – Michael MacPhee
June 10 – Carol Petrelli
June 11-Bette Wise-Steffen
June 11 – Chad Alber
June 12 – Dave Egbert
June 13 – Lars Peterson
June 14 – Randy Willes
June 15th – Michael Schasch
June 16th – A.J.
June 17 – Kevin Swanson
June 17 – Rick Pratt
June 18th – Dean Brooks
June 19th – Phillip Rhoades
June 20 – Landon Michaels
June 21 – Scott Card
June 22 – Mitchell Yee
June 23–Mark Rosen
June 24th – Felicia Bicknell

    I want June 9 3/4, which is a hidden day between day 9 and day 10, which takes you by train to a magical school of canyoneering.

  • Luke Galyan

    Not realy late……. couldn’t edit the list from my phone. Editing needs to be done so I can follow directions and not get disqualified. I only think of entering when I’m not at home.

    So rather than late to the party I’m more like the guy suckin down beers sitting in the back all by himself just watching the mayhem.

    I was going to grab the june 30 spot so that’s why I noticed the error with June 31.

    Lol. Ooops. Luke

    May 30th

  • i’ve heard the narrows have never, in the history of national park service record keeping, opened on june 31st. come to think of it, i’m pretty sure june 31st only happens on those very special tricentennial sextuple leap years. how awesome would it be if the narrows opened, imlay was descended, and a special leap year all coincided at the same time?

    fingers crossed!

    Logistics: put your selected date and name below, IN DATE ORDER. Only ONE PERSON can choose each date. Be sure to respond to the MOST RECENT posting of this that includes all entries to date. Persons who bungle the logistics are DQ’d by me, immediately. All decisions final. Do not delete other people’s entries… have FUN!

    Please leave the directions at the top. Duplicate prizes will be awarded where I have placed duplicate names if that is the date. Do not place a duplicate date/name yourself. Yes there was some confusion in the frenzy. Oh well. This was supposed to be self-managing; but then again, it is attachment that causes suffering.

    I put Randi back on with her ridiculous but sentimental date, only because we do not expect Randi to find the directions, let alone follow them.

    Here is the official list to work from:

    Darn it, bushwacker’s choice is just too cool, especially when combined with the first (legal) descent of Imlay…hmmm, wait a minute…

    I’ve watched the river for a long time and I feel very confident in my choice. In fact, I feel so confident that I have scheduled to be the first descent of Imlay (this season) on that day.
