Please note that all 3 menus are based on a 6 day river trip. If your trip length is different, not a problem! Just let us know your plans, and we can easily accommodate.
Menus are FOOD ONLY. There are other items that you will need to consider if you are renting gear or not using your own river set-up. Items to consider include all breakfast beverages, other beverages, beer, wine, alcohol, lunch paper plates, napkins, paper towels, toilet paper, sponges, dish soap, trash bags, etc.
Below there are two other Packs that we offer to account for any of these extra items.

us know. We will work with Blackadar to pick up your coolers and dry boxes, fill them with food, and return them to Blackadar before your put-in date.
Dry Boxes:
1) If you're using your own gear: when you get your food, all your dry goods will be in cardboard boxes. It is your job to distribute the dry goods throughout all dry boxes on your trip.
2) If you are renting gear from somewhere else, we will coordinate with them to get your boxes and coolers, fill them with food, and return them before your put-in- date.

Food Allergies
If any member of your boating party has a food allergy, you need to let us know ASAP and be sure to mark it on your Order Form.
Special Dietary Needs
If any member of your party has a special dietary need, please let us know. We may be able to accommodate the request, but we may not be able to as well.
Vegetarians are not a problem to accommodate and do not have an extra charge.
For Gluten Free, there is an extra charge of $10/day/person for GF substitutes. If folks want to bring their own substitutes, we can provide a list. Please be sure to mark this on your Order Form.
For other dietary considerations, such as vegan, dairy free, egg free, etc. we may be able to
accomodate folks, but we may not. Please talk to us about your group's specific needs.
Additional or Fewer Days on the Water
Each menu has been put together for a six day river trip. If you are going to be on the water additional or fewer days, please let us know. We will accommodate accordingly and will work with you for your individual trip.
Kids on the trip
Most of our menu items are kid-friendly, nothing too spicy or off-the-wall. There is always an emergency loaf of bread and peanut butter and jelly for times the little guys don't like what is on the lunch or dinner menu. If your trip has an overhaul of wee ones, please let us know; we can make a few menu changes (add in some mac n' cheese, etc.).
2) Submit your Order Form with a 50% non-refundable deposit. Payment for services can be via check, electronic check or credit card. You will be emailed a Quickbooks invoice with payment link.
3) UPS your coolers (10 days prior) OR reserve SRFP coolers (at time of order) OR let us know where you're renting gear from.
4) On the day before your river trip, coolers and dry goods can be picked up in Salmon or delivered to Stanley ($150 fee) or delivered to North Fork ($40 fee). If you're renting gear from Blackadar Boating, your loaded coolers and dry boxes will be delivered with your gear. Remainder of balance is due.
5) Post trip: SRFP coolers need to be returned to Salmon. We realize that each trip is different and that potentially none of your party will be returning to Salmon; not to worry, we will accommodate for each group's plans.
