Nice video So many questions; Where did you put in at, Wiseman crossing? How did you get landowner permission? I assume you took out at Rickert crossing. What time of year? What was the water flow?
I forgot the name of the crossing, but here it is on google maps. The Stanfords own the ranch you have to drive through, the put in is on their property. Their number is 208-583-2442, Mike is the old man, but I got his wife last time I called. Certainly add me on facebook or email me at lzicar1337@gmail.com if you're planning a trip. We did get out at Rickert Crossing, this was end of May 2017. Rome gauge showed around 1500 I think, I probably wouldn't do it with anything lower that 1200. It's hard to gauge since Rome is far away and on the Owyhee. We had really good water flow, but there were some rocky sections that were really tough, an a few willow banks that required exploring to find exits. But I would totally take kids and un-experienced people on the trip. The most important thing is being in decent shape, and planing everything accordingly. One party member should carry an SOS beacon in case of a real emergency, there are rattlesnakes and a bite there could be killer without a heli evac. www.google.com/maps/dir//42.3870643,-116.65313/@42.3867536,-116.6537429,1820m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!4m1!3e0
Self shuttled, it's about a 3 hour round trip shuttle from in-out. High clearance vehicle with good tires is a must, you're about 6-8hours at least from a recovery vehicle assuming you have some sort of satellite messenger, there is no service anywhere out there :D
Love it! Great video and a well told story!
Looks like a great trip,I’m envious
Great job Ben!!!
Getting to be that time of year... you thinking about hitting deep creek this spring? Let me know if you wanna put together a trip.
Nice video

@@benlzicar7628 Thank you for your reply. Yes water flow and timing is critical; 2017 was a good water year.
Well, that was lovely. Great music! Looks like a cool trip. Did you set shuttles yourself or was there a service that would run cars?

Ken Burns eat your heart out!!!
I'm sure this is a great video but the music is annoying. To many highs in the music, ruin it for me!
