BOR is allowing closures to Black Canyon from 10 AM to 3 PM on Friday 7 AM to 5 PM on Saturday and 7 AM to 2 PM on Sunday as much as it would make sense to be able to close the entire river corridor down so we don’t have the potential risk of water users/powerboats underway during the race time we cannot technically shut the river down. The biggest thing is with the limited amount of space for safety boats, and also the potential risk of personal boats being in the way or in proximity of the race line along with the fact they’ll have to stay anchored/stationary the entire time from start to finish of the entire race day we are trying to discourage personal boats from launching.

This years spring roadside clean up will be on Saturday April the 25th. It should only take a couple of hours Saturday morning to complete.

We will skip breakfast Saturday and instead have breakfast snacks such as donuts, pastries etc. After the clean up will have lunch. And for dinner we will BBQ something yummy.

You are welcome to camp at the Dickerson compound. I will provide more details as we assemble a crew. Hope to see you there. Contact Dave Dickerson for more information.

We had a great time at the Glenns Ferry Run. Friday for the pre run we had 7 boats and a beautiful day. Saturday, we had 11 boats the wind came up during part of the run however most of the run was without the wind. We were missing a lot of people due to weather reports. We served 28 dinner guests and 21 breakfast guests. Door Prizes were drawn after dinner. We sold $165 in raffle tickets for the Air Ride Seat with Compressor. The raffle tickets will be sold for $5.00 each or 3 for $10.00 at every meeting and run until September 12 at the Confluence run. The raffle ticket for the Air Ride Seat with Compressor will be drawn at the Confluence Run dinner on September 12th. If you would like to purchase a raffle ticket for Air Ride Seat with Compressor, please come to a general meeting or contact a board member. Thank you for attending the Glenns Ferry run and thank you for all the nice side dishes. Also, thank you to all our great leaders.

This will surely ruffle some feathers. Here's the direct link as well:

Public Rivers Belong to the Public — Not to the Loudest Opponents - McCall Star-News As Vice President of the Western Whitewater Association, I am writing to address the continued closure of a section of river in Valley County that was shut down during COVID in early 2020 — and has never legally been reopened to motorized watercraft. The closure was imposed by county commissioners...
