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.

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.
