4-O-July float through Utah desert spectacularness

Hey,

On this one we'll let the power of the Green River carry us through, along and into sublime desert scenery while we splash, tune-out, tune-in, and soak up the river vibes. Nothing more than Class 1 water, so anyone with minimal river experience can join in. Three nights on sandbars. Hikes if time permits (depends in part on the flow rate). Campfires and nothing but stars and planets and Elon's satellites above every night. 68 or 50 miles, depending on where we put in. You can bring your own canoe, raft or rubber ducky, rent one, or hitch a ride on the two rafts leading the way. Switching ride from day to day encouraged. Stay at a posh Moab accommodation with back patio overlooking red rocks after we take out.

DATES
JULY 3-8

ITINERARY
THUR 6/25: Planning meeting 6 pm in downtown Denver. Safety is discussed, so attendance is mandatory.
FRI JULY 3 - Drive to Green River State Park in Green River Utah and camp.
SAT JULY 4 - Put-in there, or drive to campground 18 miles downriver so we get more time for hiking later (game-day decision).
SUN JULY 5 - Float.
MON JUL 6- Float.
TUE the 7th - Take-out at Mineral Bottom, retrieve our shuttled cars, and dine and sleep like royalty in Moab fancy spot.
WED 8th - Drive home.

WARNINGS
1). Skeeters are sometimes a royal nuisance, so be prepared.
2). It'll be toasty and the best way to cool down is to swim, so be prepared.
3). Afternoon/evening winds can be ferocious.

COSTS
Your share of campground, shuttle and accommodation fees: $200-300, depending on how many participants there are plus your share of shared gas costs if you're a passenger. Plus your restaurant meals.
