Thanks TD!
What to bring:
To this list, I would add ...
Non-DEET bug spray for gnats and deerflies. We are fond of Buggins Vanilla Mint and Rose, available in Decorah at Oneota Coop downtown. Others like Bug Soother but all our grocery stores are constantly sold out.
River clothing , not only shoes. On this river, that means stuff that can get wet AND MUDDY.
Camera in a ziplock freezer-quality bag. Photo opportunity guaranteed after the first mile!
I like wearing those cheap elastic work gloves with a coating on the palms and fingers. I usually have some extras to lend.
A towel. Anyone who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still know where the towel is is clearly one to be reckoned with.
Cash, cards and local checks are accepted
As of this season, cards are no longer accepted. (They do not keep up with their website. They seem to like their Facebook page.).They were taking a bath on fees when a dozen innertubers would each charge separately.
