So I lost a boat on the lower Matheny. It's a red Jackson Super Star. The boat should be located on the right bank about half way down. I attempted to go in yesterday to get it but I ran out of daylight and I probably won't have time to go in there for a while.

I lost the boat at the put in when I fell and the boat decided it wanted to go for a swim without me. I swam after it... but i was unsuccesful... so I became shuttle bunny.

The other boaters I was with found it in a log jam and put it on the right bank. I have a .kml file of the location for google earth if your interested in seeing where the boat is excactly (if it doesn't flood and take the boat out)

Anyways, if you find it I can reward you with beer, hugs and much gratitude. Email me if you want to see the google earth file.

cheers,

Jake

If you made it through the first narrow section,
about one mile you could access this from the road.
This is where the river begins to bend to the left.

I would go back in there and get it but I'm leaving town and won't be back until March... I wish I could go back in and get it, but I have to work all week and leave on Saturday. It's a sitting duck.

I plan on a trip up there, hopefully sooner than later....If I find it, I'll hang on to it for you.

if you run the river you will see the red boat on the right at the log jam between the 2 canyons (its hard to miss)..... but the thing is it that it has no float bags, so when we pulled it out of the log jam we did not want to try and float it down the second canyon cuz it would most likely pin someplace worse , so we put it up as high as we could on river right .... if you wana get this boat you are gona have to hike it out or bring float bags and some kinda cockpit cover and roll the dice floating it out ... we go to Matheny alot and plan on trying to float it out next time we go, if no one has gotten it yet

Another reason to always have float baggies...
