SHUTTLES INFORMATION
- Making your Reservations: All shuttles require a phone call to Joining Waters to set up the plan for the shuttle. This creates Key card to put you on our list for shuttles. We will make an agreement with you for your keys so we have access to your vehicle at the time of the reservation. Shuttles without 48 hours notice may be charged a sur charge.
- Every Shuttle must have a completed and signed "Shuttle Agreement" Found on this page to download.
- Gas: Vehicles should have nearly a full tank of gas. This is to assure that you have enough to get in and more importantly for you to get home. The roads in and out are remote, and if anything happens it is helpful to have gas enough to accommodate those times.
- Road wear on Tires: Please be aware that the roads in and out of the takeouts are very rough on tires. We drive the way down that mostly blacktop. (but not all) Other roads that could be your choice on the way down could have pointy rocks and could puncture tires. Please check that your spare tire is aired up and is able to be used for this trip. It could be helpful to have some supplies, Like fix a flat, or an inflation pump. And of course a jack and wrench to change your tires.
- Unforeseen problems: IF your vehicle breaks down or something happens, our team will be available to pick you up and shuttle you back. This is not a service that our team regularly supplies. But sometimes things happen and we won’t leave you sitting at the river.
- Valuables: Please put all valuables in a place where they can’t be seen which could mean in a trunk or a place covered up.
- Moving Vehicles: There are many factors that determine when we move your vehicle. Often it is the same day or next day of when you put in the river. We work hard to be sure that your vehicle is at the take out before you get there.
- Discover Pass: You will need a discover pass for any takeout that is in Washington state. (Boggans, Heller Bar, or places in-between) You can get the pass by using goggle for the Washington State Discover pass. You will be able to print a paper to prove you got this. It must be on your dash when we park the car.
