You know what its like rowing a snout boat? It's like rowing a snout bout. They may be big, but at least they're not maneuverable!

The year the delta got to live again before it was turned into desert once more.

I put on a private trip that lauched the day before they closed the canyon that summer. It was with John Parsons and Randy Fabares from Flagstaff, I was one of 4 kayakers on the trip. We had a paddle raft and a motor rig. Big fun trip. There was some video footage that some people had but I have lost mine, you might try to contact those guys or possible Steve Daniel, a kayaker from Texas to see if they still have the footage, he is college professor at Texas A and M I believe.

[Jeffe01]

So the Ledge Hole was gone in Lava?

When we ran it later that summer you could have recirculated a bus in the hole. Maybe not a Greyhound. But certainly a school bus.

We were possibly the first small boats thru the right side of Lava. (12 & 16 ft).

I say that because after we scouted Lava a motorboat pulled up. The boatman got off and said:"Gonna run left?"

We"No we're running right."

Boatman: "Quick let me get my camera" and went running back to his boat.

Love to see those photos.

one of the float trip guides down the river from the dam told me to watch this to get an idea of crystal rapids during this period... glad i did..

[Jeffe01]

Thanks...and btw; look again; that wasn't ledges camp...that was the Havasu eddy (river level is near the level where the trail curls into the canyon...J

We will never see that again. Great footage of Tour West rig in Crystal.  And camping up on the ledges.

[tardgo]

Don't count on that.

Glen Canyon Damn is doomed. Bad Karma and a very bad place to put a damn.

Damn sandstone.

super 8 digitized by showing on a white wall and capturing with digital cam. Editing (and slomo) in iMovie. (the old version!) Jeffe

Oh good, I read your description and see this IS for RGTS. The music adds a lot and is well-timed with the great Lava footage. What kind of camera in 1983? Like that slo-mo editing, too. Wonderful job!

[Joannawysiwyg]

Oh good, I read your description and see this IS for RGTS. Great video! Music works great, and that slo-mo editing in Lava is just right.

I went down the American River at low level which was a ride and a half. Cannot imagine this one!! I finally knew why everyone loves rivers! Great video. WHOOOEEEE!
