Awesome tBatt. Keep it coming
R2 Grey's River Alpine, WY 550 CFS
East, Huh? #2 looks kinda Selway-esque but that's North from ya.
We musta just missed you - our crew ran Flaming Gorge A & B from 8/26 - 8/28, then floated the flatwater of Section C on 8/29 to Gates of Lodore for a permit that was for Weds. 8/30 - Sun. 9/3.
Absolutely epic trip - we camped at Kolb, Wild Mountain, Jones Hole, and Big Island - the canyons were beautiful, and the whitewater was sick!! We ran 6 packrafts, one play boat, and a 16' oar rig, the gang had a blast. Got pitted in Hell's Half, one of my buddies got tossed off the side of Lucifer.
We could see the higher water lines, I imagine that section of the Green is insane during heavy flows.

Awesome! We had a great time doing Deso. It was nice to be out on such a beautiful, remote stretch of river, and to have it (usually) all to ourselves.
Here's Mz Bobz, and our rigs:
Some pets:
Lighthouse Rock:
And somewhere around Flat Canyon:
Some good hiking; this is Rattlesnake Canyon:
I think this one's Coal Creek rapid; there were a few sort of like this, where there was an entry to get right (in this case, go between the pour-over rock and some holes on the right), and everything is fine from there:
Tomorrow, I return to the Flaming Gorge area to do the 'C' part and the rest of the way to Gates of Lodore. All part of this year's project to do the whole thing from the dam to the confluence (though not in order). After that, it's just Stillwater left to do.

he was chugging water for a long time but appeared to be awake thru it all, I don't think he lost consciousness

Yampa is such a great trip - never gets old visiting the tiger wall. Have never been that early - looks like a great time was had.
Looks like a great trip.
