Welcome to the Grand Canyon Private Boaters Association discussion group. The GCPBA is a not for profit organization working to obtain fair and equitable access to the Colorado River in Grand Canyon for those who enjoy self-guided rafting, kayaking and canoeing.

This discussion group was founded to provide you, the whitewater river runner, with a forum in which you can express your uncensored views on any political issue or social aspect of river running. Naturally, because of our efforts, we encourage those views and discussions to be channeled toward areas either directly or indirectly pertaining to the Grand Canyon. However, we welcome discussions on any river related subject. We also welcome and encourage commercial, non-commercial, and governmental participation.

In addition, the group should be used by trip leaders to notify other trip leaders about trip exchange availability, permit holders that are looking for other people to join their group, or for people who are looking for a trip that they can join. In short this group is available for discussions on anything concerning river running from trip preparation, to what kinds of equipment people prefer, to how to set up the kitchen.

All new subscriber's postings will be automatically moderated until it is determined that they are ligitimate subscribers. Members are free to express their view regarding Grand Canyon topics and enter into any discussion pertaining to other's views without fear of censorship. However, we do require that you respect and maintain a decorum that follows the common sense rules of proper social behavior.
