I have over 50 trips through the Canyon under my belt (and many more on other western rivers) and am a life member of the Grand Canyon River Guides. I am frequently a lecturer at the annual River Guide Training Seminar and was a participant instructor on this year's training trip, from April 1 to April 15. (A cold trip, by the way) Since I went as a guide, it does not count for the one trip per year restriction and I am allowed to go on a private or commercial trip this year. I also have substantial hiking experience in the canyon, and my name can be found in the various reference books about Harvey Butchart. I could be interested in the trip, but only if I could take my own raft. I do not like the 18 foot rafts that REO or PRO supplies, and am more comfortable in my 14 footer. Drop me a line if you have any interest. Bill
