Arrange travel to SLC or Green River. If SLC, then shuttle to Green River.

Meet John, James, Rich, at Green River Comfort Inn, 9/12

Do something in the vicinity on the morning of 9/13.

Probably shopping for supplies 9/13.

Meet 7 pm 9/13 at the Green River, Utah, warehouse for a 7:00 p.m. Mountain Time pre-trip

meeting.

Rafting starts 9/14.

(John’s texts follow)

“No ground cloth in their sleep kit. Bring one”

“I have reserved a sleeping kit and one tent. Plan to not use it. It sleeps three tight. Shouldn’t need another.”

“Okay boys, I took th opportunity to reserve a double queen room at the comfort inn both ends of the trip. Starting end I reserved 9/12-9/15 at 327 and 9/25-9/26 at 214. all cancellable. Can’t get there on 9/13 in time for the meeting via shuttle. I am goingto reserve shuttle on 9/12 and 9/26. also cancelable. We might do better with a one way rental? A rental for the whole period would be ~475 plus gas to sit there.

Too much info.”
