IMHO, too much bata ruins the wilderness experience and the challenge of having to route find.<br /><br />You are correct in the name being derived from starting near the Dunoir near Dubois and finishing near Moran. However, the name has a double meaning. As any packrafter who studies the geography of the area will figure out, a longer and more elegant exit would involve paddling the upper sections of the Yellowstone and Snake rivers. Hopefully, some day the NPS will stop pandering to auto touring and industrial recreation and instead encourage forms of wilderness recreation like packrafting. When that time comes, we will be able to Do More.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your experience and glad to hear the trip went well.forrestmccarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237508428268150113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3057352900106109514.post-83346717528039612472018-08-22T23:58:37.456-06:002018-08-22T23:58:37.456-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.forrestmccarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237508428268150113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3057352900106109514.post-17962703886580633902018-08-02T21:59:44.285-06:002018-08-02T21:59:44.285-06:00Bob I'm pretty much a personal hazmat situatio...Bob I'm pretty much a personal hazmat situation myself....that suit is good for protecting society from the ravages of me!Tom Diegelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17883457895094058609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3057352900106109514.post-54411374740546202892018-08-02T21:58:31.522-06:002018-08-02T21:58:31.522-06:00Hi Larry - we came into the NF Buff from the north...Hi Larry - we came into the NF Buff from the north, over Two Ocean pass, and got enough water to paddle below the gorge at the confluence of the NF and another creek. then came into the SF buffalo not far (I think) below the class 4 stuff on the SF.

I hiked a heavy plastic kayak from Togwotee pass road into the SF Buffalo Fork back in 1995, there was a very stout class v gorge that we ran...and then paddled on down to the confluence with the NF Buffalo Fork...forming the main and took out at a bridge with road access....where did you come into the Buffalo Fk drainage?L.
