This was my first opportunity to raft the Middle Fork of the salmon river.
I went with a group of friends from Boise- many whom I have rafted with before
and a number of new people.
There were 18 in our group 9 boats.
We put in at Boundary Creek and floated around 96 miles in 7 days.

Beautiful scenery

The morning that we launched.

The put in and launch area.

Lightning started a fire the night before.

One of our breaks.

With my boat mate- Jud.

Helping with dishes after one of our delicious meals.

Dominoes was one form of entertainment.
We also had a ladder golf tournament one afternoon.

At least I have a water in my hand along with my beer :)

Fishing


Most of the time, I was just the passenger.

I was resting. Most of the day, I
oared for Mike while he fished.

I was showing my muscles.

I also saw a rattle snake slithering up the
hot springs- ugh!

Deer

Oaring for Mike. I
oared 12 miles this day.

Thinking about
fishing. This was the first time I REALLY used my fly rod.
I actually did catch some fish :)
