What was the CFM in there when you did it? that can totally change how much fun or work it is.
It was low, we did it in September of 08. I want to say 25 cfm or so.
It was a lot of knee deep wading and probing for rocks, but some long float sections and some really fun scrambling were mixed in.
I want to hit Upper and the Chute of Muddy Creek sometime soon. I also had planned to do Neon canyon, but reports before we left for that trip indicated that the big keeper pothole was deep and almost impossible to escape so we opted out.

Thanks!
Sitting atop a cliffs edge last Sunday, overlooking the San Rafael Swell accompanied by the sound and smell of bacon bathing in hot grease over an open fire.. It doesn't get much better than this..
I present to you, bacon wrapped sauteed mushrooms.. Skillet style over open fire..

No wonder some of you are having success with the Al pie irons! You don't even have a fire! Al doesn't last one minute in any fire I've ever built. I'm surprised you can even cook on that slightly warmed dirt!

See its a double edged sword. Too hot and the AL melts, too small and the AL can't retain the heat for cooking
That was a 'lunch fire', simple quick. Ashes blew away and you'd have never known we were there
Let's take a quick step back to reality here on the pie iron front.
Can we get a raise of hands for people that regularly use a 1600* temperature for cooking? I hardly consider a 1600 degree coal emersion the best practice to cooking anything in cast-anything. Do you set a dutch oven or a pie iron in coals deep in a fire that is 1600 degrees? What earthly food would cook well or efficiently at that temperature? Coal?
Realistically, you'd scorch the shit out of any food you put in temperatures that hot--even if you could get close enough with the 30" handle to put the thing in there.
I understand reality is a cruel mistress, but just because something CAN withstand an extra 800 degrees, doesn't make it any better suited for an application that, when used practically and for it's intended purpose, will never get anywhere near those temperatures.
So, in all practical application the aluminum is every bit as functional as cast iron....only mine will never rust or need seasoning

Empty pie iron + 1600 snakes belly fire = self cleaning & seasoning apparatus.
lol, I couldn't care less to be honest. I like my aluminum iron perfectly well, I just feel it's unfairly discriminated against with faulty claims and logic. It didn't ask for this persecution, the insecure cast-iron owners are the ones that brought it up
Besides. Wet cloth + alumi-iron = clean cooker.

I'm still waiting for the pie iron cookoff. Just let me know when and where.
Why? So that you can sit in your truck that's been idling for 2hrs, then leave early?

It was great to meet some of you I hadn't before...had a great time. Can't wait for the next trip.
I see the Pie Iron debate rages on...I fear the day when this escalates to violence. lol.
Brian...there can be no debate about the Sweater you wear on the inside...simply put it is greatness through and through.
