Not sure why I had never been on this river before, I was determined to get on it this year. After a hectic job working at the NM legislative session for 35 days straight, I rallied a few friends and we headed out to do a pre-permit wilderness run of the Salt. The key to doing a self support kayaking trip is to find a raft :)
Mike Pagel was kind enough to drive from Fort Collins (16 hr drive vs our 6 hr drive) and provide the raft support for us. It's hard seeing your good kayaking buddies become rafters, but after loading on all the food and beer, I wish more would convert.
The wilderness run of the salt is a 60 mile (including the day run) trip through beautiful canyons and spiky spiny scenery. I would rate it 9 out of 10 stars in terms of beauty. The whitewater is not bad either. Mostly class 3 with a couple 4's thrown in to keep you on your toes. I highly recommend this trip. Most folks do this trip in 4-6 days. We busted it out in two and a half in order to get home for work (some of us).
We had a great time, good friends and a special place.
I can't wait to go back and spend a more lesurily pace in this amazing place.
Permits are required after March 1st.
Salt river permit Info
No permit needed before that, but all rules and regulations apply. You are on Apache land when you launch, please pay attention to the fees due there and where not to camp as long as you are on the reservation.
Enjoy the photos......
Stocked up with good premium beer and the new 2010 Burn
Pagel and Lex rigging up among the masses
Not sure who this is, but he was happy.
We let all the Pre-season crazies launch in front of us. 12 rafts in this one group. We passed them pretty quick and never saw them again
kayaking buddy turned rafter and loving it...
Are we lost?

My religion!
I'll be back again next year. Enjoy the upcoming runn-off and be safe out there. Beers, Atom....
PS, the new 2010 Burn was really nice. Review coming soon....
Nice report, headed down there this week. Nice to see Pagels face, tell him Brad Sablosky says howdy.

ReplyDeleteThe E-cigarette (also known as the electronic cigarette and electric
ReplyDeletecigarette) is the healthier alternative to the traditional cigarette.
The E-cigarette literally allows you to smoke without smoking.
Rather than toxic smoke, you breath in vapourised nicotine.
The E-cigarette is an innovative and revolutionary new device that can
change the way people view smoking.

Thanks for the suggestions you have discussed here. Moreover, I believe there are numerous factors that keep your motor
ReplyDeleteinsurance premium straight down. One is, to
contemplate buying cars that are in the good list
of car insurance corporations. Cars which are expensive are at risk of being snatched.
Aside from that insurance is also in line with the value
of your car, so the higher in price it is, then the higher the
actual premium you make payment for.
