WOW! Our Backhaul Taxi boatman TIM was OUTSTANDING!! You can Always tell when someone Truly enjoys their job, great knowledge, history of the canyons and his advice on how to best navigate the river back to the launch was spot on. He wasn't just rushing us out to the spot to drop us off, extremely personable and if you wanted someone to be the face of your organization then Tim's your guy. He knew we were on a time crunch to get to another venue later in the day and he came by and grabbed us up on his time. Thanks for making this an amazing venture for my family and I.
