I had a high interest until I saw the forcasted flows... that was the indicator for me. Next weekend is certainly something of interest though. I will stay tuned.

I might be interested. 

Good question Dave. The fact is that Slickhorn is the kayaking messiah who will lead us to the promised land of the Lost River.

damn didn't get here before the edit .. what'd I miss? ;-) 

if there were a boating messiah, would swimming be a sin? or a penance?

I may be out of town next week, but if not, I'd love to join you.  The Lost has been calling my name for many years (Or maybe that's just been my wife yelling at me to get lost.  Not sure.)   Anyway, with wood + highwater it can be class V survival boating.  Havn't heard any wood reports since last fall though.  A number of folks have lost their boats up there and had to climb out, or bailed part of the way down.  It's a very commiting run.  That said,  I'd be willing to give her a go (the river, not my wife) any of the next two or three weekends.

Thanks Mike, I think that sums it up well.  Anyone looking at this trip should realize this is not a place to be in doubt of your skills.  Also not a place to try out self-support boating for the first time. 

It is nice to see some local boaters interested in self-supporting though -- it's a underrepresented facet of boating in the area.
