carvedog Posted January 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 definitely still interested Glad to hear Michelle. Tom - we will make it another time, but you will be missed. Dave - it would be you and your wife yes? Two weeks yet to get in applications. I am rallying up some of my buddies to put in on the same date.

carvedog Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 With our moderate snowpack (which can we hope will change) I am not expecting huge runoff this spring. That doesn't mean it won't be spring type conditions, but it won't be the huge scary thing that can be in mid June. If you want a levels prediction I am guessing 4.5 to 5ft, which is around 3 to 4,000 cfs in the middle section. This is very fun and moderate level, but still quick enough for a 4-5 day trip. So Dave and Andrea are interested. So is Michelle. Tpalka and Lisa are out at this time. JoelP, Ken, jbird just want to hear from you guys for a relative interest level. BTW Ken, I have been using those gloves you let me check out (until my shoulder problem) and love them. Also have a copy of the video here with your name on it. Or send me your mailing and I will drop it in the mail for you. Later, Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jbird Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Santa brought the goods! Raft,frame,and loads of camping gear. We are going to a "River Lottery Party" next weekend to put in for the trip. Aloha, jbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted January 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 https://www.ronincorporateventures.com/results.asp?p=usfs&pt=forest&RID=519&DisplayType=Short This is the link to the online application from the 4 Rivers site: http://www.fs.fed.us/r4/sc/recreation/4rivers/ It was really easy. They do want you to enter some ID numbers, like drivers license. Good luck everyone hope it works. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Just checking in on the lottery and it looks like we won't know the results until the end of March. Hopefully earlier as there are some travel plans to coordinate. Apparently the online application didn't go as smooth as it could have. Sure was easy on this end though. Hope every is good, the shoulder is healing slowly. Best, Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted March 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Here all my friends got their rejection letters and I hadn't so I was thinking maybe a permit was headed my way. Turns out they sent the rejection to street address instead of PO Box that was on the same form. Bastiches. So I did not draw. Anyone else heard any good news?? Love to hear someone drew. Permits are on the way for those of you who applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yyzcanuck Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 without love!! Our 2 applications were rejected too. Haven't heard about the 3rd (Montana). We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Looking forward to the good word from Montana. Unless there was an address foulup, the longer the better in a way. Rejection letters are a form letter. The permit is a large, lovely brown envelope that with all kinds of Forest Service info and a (important) confirmation letter that has to be mailed back in post haste. So make sure Montana checks the mail and sends the letter back asap if we did indeed score. Best,Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yyzcanuck Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 No love from Montana either... looks like we're OUT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Hey Dave you have been pretty fired up on this from the start so I am shopping for a few spaces on another trip with some guys from the Idaho whitewater group. I will let you know as soon as I hear anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted April 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 So here is the deal. I just picked up a couple of cancellations in May. May 16th and and May 28th ( Memorial Day) If anyone is interested in going let me know as soon as possible. I still have some logistics to work out, but I think I may do both. Five day trip. so lets go boating. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yyzcanuck Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Jerry, sounds like fun but we just can't make that schedule work. Thanks for thinking of us though. D&A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted April 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Dave Thanks for letting me know. Maybe we can try again next year. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 http://www.fs.fed.us/r4/sc/recreation/4rivers/ If anyone wants to try to draw a permit go to above website. This is a link to my blogs of last summer and fall. http://idahorivertime.blogspot.com/ I am applying for June 19th for a five day trip that would come off the river on Monday the 22nd in the evening. Check with me first, as I am still coordinating with a couple of other folks to improve our chances. Basically the more people we get to apply on the same date improves our odds. It does cost $6 to apply. If you draw a permit, I will get you down the river. If you draw and then don't show up, I will hunt you down like a rabid dog. No really the permits are not transferable so if you draw as part of our group and we start the planning process, it would be nice if you showed up. Should be a great summer for boating.

two_ravens Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Kayakers allowed? I've never done the Middle Fork, but have always wanted to. Little raft experience (just one trip paddling R3 on Gates of Lodore) but a competent kayaker. And I know some rafters who might be up for it, if more are needed. Also, just want to double check dates before submitting application? - Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hi Kelly, yes kayakers are allowed. The most important thing is to get the date so we can all start planning. I am for sure on June 19th. My buddy in CO is putting in for the same date. If you have a couple of solid rafters that may want to put in for that date I encourage you to do that. I always can manage a cancellation with a week or three notice since I am only 2 hours from the putin. Made it quicker than that but not recommended with passengers. The purpose of this trip for me, is to introduce people to this wonderful river that may not have a chance to go otherwise. That helps me to get to the river too. Snow pack will affect runoff, should be moderate to big, but not huge that time of year. So welcome, join us if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yyzcanuck Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Carvedog... saw your post in the other thread so thought it better to reply here. We're not likely to be able to play this year. A multitude of reasons but primarily the house reno needs to get done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
