  0 props    Topic: September Rogue River Trip Discussion Thread
Posted: 11 Jun 2010 at 3:32am |
This is the September Rogue River Trip discussion thread. Please post any questions below. Remember the actual Trip Details are located on the September Rogue River Trip | Trip Page I have a Rogue River permit this fall and am looking for people interested in going. Assuming all my strong maybes confirm I will have five open seats on the permit.
Right now I have no rafts going. If I can't find raft support I will take the canoe and hopefully convince someone to paddle my IK's for a little bit of extra gear hauling capability.
Right now I am just trying to compile a list of who is interested in going. It would be a shame to see the permit not get filled completely so chime in if you are game. If space becomes an issue I'll make a final trip list in August to confirm who is going.

I would be interested in going. I have a kayak but I know some one with a raft that might be interested.

Yeah Kyle sounds like a rad trip. How many days do you intend to go? I would be down if the schedule works out. I have no raft though but can guide part time if need be. Let me know.

I'm in. I have a 15' cat and can handle a bunch of gear. Up to 1300 lbs total or something ridiculous.
I've already responded as paddling as login name Nolanblake, but for some reason my account never got accepted which was really annoying. I'll add my name as attending as well so disregard my previous attempt.

A play boat would be fine for this run. Most of the river is class II. We are looking at three or four days on the river.

hey kyle,
lucky you got a permit, i'm jealous. i keep getting skunked. I grew up down there and have run the rogue 10+ times. sept is great time for it.
one of my friends who i have run the river with multiple times still lives down there and has 14' self bailer. let me know if you still need raft support. although i'm guessing he'd like to take his girlfriend, and i'd like to take mine in IK too. so that's four peeps stealing your spots so it might only work if have more people drop as i don't want to come in and hog your permit from ya
anyways let me know. if nothing else you might be able to just hook up and invite my friend and his raft.
have fun.
bests,
kristian
the kayaker, who always wishes he owed a raft so he could do more multiday trips...

Here's an update:
Right now I have five confirmed, and I am waiting for the last of my prepost invites to let me know if they are in before I start sending out invites from the list. They said they will have an answer for me Friday night. Unfortunately even if they choose to stay home I can't take everyone on the trip.
On the plus side we do have raft (or rather cataraft) support for the trip.
I underestimated the amount of interest in this trip when I applied for the permit and think it would be great if we could get everyone on the water. I am thinking about teaming up with someone to see if we can get a cancellation permit on the same weekend and join forces to make a big PP trip. Any volunteers to go after the cancellation permit?

Kyle,
Post the details. I will go after one. I know my wife would enjoy that trip and now that she has an IK and I have a raft we would be into it!

This is the place to check for cancellations for the Rogue. In the past I have always found it was best to call to get the latest information. However at this point the most likely way to get a cancellation would be ten days before the trip as that is when a lot of people cancel. It also might be worth checking the day before and after your start date.
One time I little put on the river at 9pm as I had to put on that day, but other issues made me really late to the put in. I then just paddle down to my friends just downstream of graves creek. It was a beautiful full moon paddle i'll never forget...

I've had a lot of luck camping at rand and picking up onsie-twosie permits. for those wanting to go, get there afew days before Kyle launches and be at the ranger station early for day-of opennings. just float on down to Whiskey Creek and let the group consolidate.
Also, there's a wonderful hiking trail on river right -- if you can't boat it, hike it and meet up with the group in camp -- you could stash gear on the raft and just hike w/ a day pack for a 30+ mile wilderness hike.
It's a great zone, and that's the best possible time to go IMO. Have a great trip!

The trip is full. If anyone wants to try to get a cancellation permit and link up with us let me know and we'll work out the details.
