Boaters ought to get a grapple hook, toss it and tow her corpse to a dock. How hard is it to do that. It beats having to hold your breath because of the stink.

These guys know there are worse things that can happen:

The drama's done. Why then here does any one step forth? - Because one did survive the wreck.

SouthernManDunWrong:How hard is it to do that.

Go for it, Internet Action Man! I'm sure you can do something in a boat that the Coast Guard can only do in a helicopter. Really.

Weaver95:The drama's done. Why then here does any one step forth? - Because one did survive the wreck.

Melville?

Now they know why it's called "Grave Creek."

As an Oregonian, people really shouldn't be on that river in the spring, early summer. It's just flat out dangerous.They won't be able to get to her until probably early August. The body is pinned in the rocks in a dangerous section of rapids.

So we finally found a reason to greenlight this story?

Sah-weet!

I volunteer for the job of recovering and destroying dead bodies in the whitewater rivers. All I need is food in the morning, alcohol in the evening and shelter at night.

Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony

You know one of the drunk boaters will want to sleep with her.

Like water through the hour glass so are the women of our lives.

Personaly I'd like to see a pic, call it morbid curiosity.

/Oh don't look at me like that some of you were thinking the same thing.

You know, I saw this photo where a retaining wall abutting a cemetery had collapsed and all these coffins were careening down a street. It was sort of disturbing.

She has already been there a week, I would Imagine that the smell is pretty strong, I wonder if she looks all horror movie gross yet?

shipud:Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony

Eh, I wouldn't equate calling a drowned woman to a watery tart.

Not in this case.

/I did get a tiny chuckle, FWIW.

The Coast Guard will not recover bodies, only live victims, Curry County sheriff's patrol Sgt. John Ward said.

Call the Coast Guard and say "sorry, we screwed up, she's still alive". They'd get her out.

I vote we all take up a collection to fly SouthernManDunWrong out there to show those pussies how its done.

Not many names stick in my mind as I read the posts in a forum, but SouthernManDunWrong has caught my attention on several occasions. And not in a good way. There is stupid, and then there is SouthernManDunWrong stupid. It's stupid so stupid that even from 8000 miles away it's impossible to miss. Well done!

Does Christo do emergency outdoor art installations? I'm thinking a nice pink peach silk taffeta wrap could shield off the offending scene. Maybe mustard.

Juniper Jupiter:Eh, I wouldn't equate calling a drowned woman to a watery tart.

Moistened bink?

A moistened bint then, maybe?

I'd pay extra if my rafting excursion included sightings of a human corpse.

I almost went out in blossum bar the first time I went down the rogue, so kicks, yes, I have them. thats such a fun river, and so beautiful. the river was really high that trip and we actually went right over the picket fence, that raft still doesn't smell right. A big part of this womens problem is that she tried taking blossum in an inflatable Kayak which to me just says amateur. Still this is a tragedy, but the picket fence is absolutely nothing to mess with, at least on the upriver side, I don't blame them for not trying to get her out. A few people I went down the Rogue with told me they hit the rock a drowned woman was pinned too below the water level on the deschutes.

/my kicks, let me show you them.

Korag_The_Nasty:Good god this is farking retarded. We can build massive dams and send Saturn V's to the Moon, but we act like a bunch of bumbletards at the idea of trying to recover a HUMAN CORPSE from a river, so we're gonna just leave her there for everyone to watch her rot???

I am truly frightened at how far down our country has slid these past two decades.

So go get her. What's stopping you? Oh, you want somebody else to risk their lives, right?

You seem to be taking this very personally.

It's not like she is floating on the surface in a nice pool somewhere. The body is probably pinned under a ledge in the river.

There is one like that on the Lower Yough that is deadly when the water is high.

The article doesn't say whether they ate her or not.

People hike past dead bodies on Everest every day. I see no difference here.

Just jump on her and "Body Surf"...problem solved.

GaryPDX:They won't be able to get to her until probably early August. The body is pinned in the rocks in a dangerous section of rapids.

If it's in the water, there won't be much left of it come August. Nature will take it's course.

shipud:Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony

You win the intarwebs today.

So.... I'll wade into this....

Not that I know shiat about shiat, but if she is floating in a pool of rapids why is there are any real appreciable stink to speak of?

But I think the Coast Guard's issue is they are going in there with a Helicopter and aren't there to risk crew on a dead body inland. But they aren't really planning on hiking in either.

I am curious why the various park rangers and sheriff's departments are going in there either walking, on horseback, or in their own birds.

Back about 1989 or 1990 when I was a white water kayak instructor in northern Wisconsin, we had to set up a recovery to pull a guy out that had been pinned and crushed between his canoe and a rock on the Wolf river. That's about 8 tons of pressure is what they calculated. Wasn't easy and when we did get him off, he was like a bowl of jello. Took 5 hours.

It's not easy to get to some of those spots and I think where she is, is way more treacherous than the recovery I was involved in.

I was 12 going on 13 the first time I saw a dead human being. It happened in the summer of 1959 - a long time ago, but only if you measure in terms of years. I was living in a small town in Oregon called Castle Rock; there were only twelve hundred and eighty-one people, but to me it was the whole world.

Well, its good that the family is understanding, but i wonder if they were to throw a royal hissy, perhaps they would try a little harder to figure a way to get the body out of there.

MONSTERTRUCK:People hike past dead bodies on Everest every day. I see no difference here.

The difference is, you don't smell death after it freezes.

It's a whole nuther ball o' wax when it's 80 degrees in 70 degree water for over a week.

Same scenario with a cow while walking down a bike trail last year. It was dead and in standing water about twenty feet below the path, but we could smell it fifty feet before. It had decomposed about halfway, with bones poking out of the surface, and mucky flesh still swirling slowly in the water. If you go in your freezer, stick your nose on a piece of meat...no odor (if you wrapped it correctly, otherwise you just smell freezer burn).

<b>Fark_On_My_Friend:</b> <i>Well, its good that the family is understanding, but i wonder if they were to throw a royal hissy, perhaps they would try a little harder to figure a way to get the body out of there.</i>

No one in her family really liked her anyways, so fark it she can wait...

The Corps won't handle the corpse. What a difference one letter makes!

Death is death, stinky or not. Besides, she won't last long with those big steelies feeding on her.

You, sir, are retarded. "Everybody" is watching her rot? No, nobody is watching her rot. A handful of people have spotted her for a few moments at a time, that is all. By the way, rotting is the natural thing for dead bodies to do. It's not a crime against nature for a body out in the middle of nowhere to rot. You act like the world should stop for this.

Her family understands, and the people whose job is to go get her have said they will do so when it's safe. I don't see how this has the urgency of an Apollo mission.

Somewhere in this section as far as I can tell.
(These other rafts are both stuck on the same rock at Blossom Bar)
(Do they not require helmets for rafting in Oregon? Not that that would've helped TFA woman.)

NYZooMan:Do they not require helmets for rafting in Oregon?

Helmets are mandatory for EVERYTHING in Oregon. Also, you can't drive faster than 65 and aren't allowed to pump your own gas.

If it was Kennedy, the US Navy would have taken care of it.
Obviously, these folks don't have clout.

rurdy:There is one like that on the Lower Yough that is deadly when the water is high.

-I had a raft flip on Dimple Rock a few years back, and one of the guys I was with was almost pinned underwater. He was lucky and managed to get out.

For some reason I don't like whitewater rafting very much these days.

rurdy:It's not like she is floating on the surface in a nice pool somewhere. The body is probably pinned under a ledge in the river.


Indeed. Most likely all you can see is a bit of her head and maybe her arms floating up when the water fluctuates a bit.
And for the smell wonderers I doubt if there's much smell since she's under the water.
