I personally don't pay for the shuttle unless its winter and there aren't alot of people driving back up towards the dam. I stick out the ol' thumb and have never waited very long for a ride back to the dam. Great chance to talk to other people about how they did.
I leave my gear with buddies who keep fishing or if I'm alone, drag my toon over by the parking lot and no one has messed with it.
On the strap or stripping apron, I leave it off. If you should flip (unlikely) you need to get out of your toon quickly. I floated the Green in a float tube back in '93 and will never do that again. Several people have drowned in float tubes because they get stuck upside down and can't get their legs out.
Also, you can't wear an inflatable life jacket. They check you at the dam and won't let you go down the river. You must have a Coast Guard approved (type III??) life jacket.
