	*There's a lot more to be said about river running in the Grand Canyon. Search the internet and you'll find many trip logs and hundreds of photos. Search the library and you'll find many books worth perusing. A Grand Canyon river trip is a unique, life-changing experience, and we should be sure to take care of the place so that experience is available for generations to come.		*There's a lot more to be said about river running in the Grand Canyon.

 	In the 1950s, Georgie White built the first G-rig, a 33 foot long motor boat built from surplus military pontoons, and changed the face of Grand Canyon rafting. The boats were very stable, and could carry a large number of people through the canyon more quickly than oar boats.
 	The book River Runners of the Grand Canyon, by David Lavender, is a classic, full of tales of adventure, exploration, danger and fun, and the colorful (and sometimes just plain crazy) characters who made it all happen.  Highly recommended.

+*'''QUESTION: When did rafting start to take off?'''
 	Up until 1949, only 110 people had run the river through the Grand Canyon.  Starting in 1959 the number of river travelers increased by an average of 59% per year. By 1970 the river saw more than 10,000 travelers per year, and the Park Service put a cap on the number of permits it would allow each year.  (Info taken from River Runners of the Grand Canyon.)
 What was the rafting world like before the dam was put in?
