Would You Like A Kilt Rendezvous That Went Downriver Through The Grand Canyon?

[Riverkilt]

I've a friend who arranges Grand Canyon raft trips for her special interest group. I've helped out by taking pics of their launching at Lees Ferry, Paria Riffle, and floating under Navajo Bridge in Marble Canyon. Woke up this morning wondering if the deal she has with a raft company would work for kilties too?

Basic deal is we'd rendezvous in Las Vegas at a hotel for the first night. Next day be flown to Marble Canyon. Stay at Cliff Dwellers Lodge that night. Next morning launch at Lees Ferry on a regular commercial raft, or two, and head down canyon. Seven days later we'd be flown back to Las Vegas for a final night good bye dinner. The hotel stores the stuff you don't need on the raft while you're gone.

Rough cost about $3,000 USD per person. All inclusive - including the shuttle flights, hotel nights and lodge. If there was an interest could firm up that and other details.

Big thing I have to investigate is how much space each person gets for dry bag(s). Would there be enough room for a kilt in the dry bags and still be able to take the "stuff" personal needed. Being kilted on the raft in the rapids probably isn't wise. But being kilted on the beach and for hiking the side canyons seems perfect. And the fellowship of a beach full of kilties sipping their favorite beverage sounds like fun and comfort.

Would be talking 2014 or 2015 depending on availability.

Of course raft company provides all the grub and camping gear. If you do "need" your booze you have to supply your own booze.

Its expensive, but one of those lifetime experiences....would any of the rabble be seriously interested in trying to work this out? Obviously anyone can sign up with any of the raft companies...the only perk for this would be the fellowship of a group of us, and family members, doing it together....kilted flash mob the canyon...



The river is that thin green line through the center of the pic.
