For those new to the upper Chama or Big Mamma Chama

This might help in description but perhaps Tim or Plikerds could also shed
light on the  put- in and take outs, do your own shuttle but where is it ok
to park cars/trailers etc

hey Tim, 
 
A friend and i ran the upper Chama a few weeks ago on a monday, it was about
2500 cfs. we saw fences but none spanning the river, and none we had to get
out of our boats to negotiate. There are a couple cables spanning the river,
you should have plenty of room to get under these, too. Big Mama Chama
unobstructed by snags, but plenty on top of the big rock.
are you going to run on sunday, too? i work friday until 8pm.
 
At the takeout, north el vado launch ramp, which we had not gone to before
our run, The gate was locked about a quarter mile from the ramp, so we had
to hump our gear past the gate. I called el vado state park and asked about
opening the gate, and he said it should be open soon. i advise you call them
to check this before the weekend.
 
see ya on the river,
 
eric
