I've posted a new map at the top of the blog: it is the shuttle route. Click on "terrain" to get an idea of the shape of the country we will be driving through on Saturday and at the end of the trip. I also included a side trip to the Jordan Craters Wilderness--I would suggest that we visit this, either on the way in or out. Out would be easier, as we will have all the cars.
Anyway, just so you have some idea what to expect. Fill up gas in Jordan Valley for sure, whatever we do!!

Blog will help coordinate and report on the Lower Owyhee trip in late March, 2010. Posts operate as discussion forums, including shuttle/transportation, gear, conditions, and links.

Ruthy's entry
Beautiful day at the spring yesterday. Great hiking. Good conversation all around. Up early and on the river--13-14 miles through gorgeous canyon country--limestone? Greenish outcroppings, red strata, lots of caves--nice single camp spots with sandy beaches and overhangs. Couple of swims: Ben--nicely handled. Julie took on a canoe full of water and rode it out, then into the river--also without further incident. Beau took a big wave at the start of a really strong rapid, swam the rest--stayed with his boat like a champ. Lots of fun and plenty of splash in the raft with Nels--nice maneuvering. Looking forward to some wild game tacos here tonight. Great crew--morale high! Cheers.
