Huckleberries are ripening on our property; this was right before we left.
We took a long bike ride before leaving Idaho on Farm to Market road.
My raft was the best! Jennifer (whom we traveled with in Australia), Garth (who we worked with in Antarctica in 2003) and myself. We took the roughest line each rapid and flipped our raft! What a blast!!!
Can you spot the other rafts in this photo? We had 5 boats, 2 kayakers & a paddle board.
Dave's boat was a cataraft and had The Todd (who's not in this photo but is our friend from Antarctica and lives in McCall) and Marshell (another friend we're lucky to work with this summer in Antarctica, also lives in Idaho).
The Todd on the paddleboard. He paddled through all the whitewater!
A typical lunch/dinner/camp spot.
So lucky to have all the ladies on the trip. 14 people total, 1 dog. This was dress night. Below is Dave jumping off a log up really high.
Dave after breakfast, ready to hit the river. We had such a blast! It was 5 days and 72 miles of the Lower Salmon river. We put in at White Bird and floated to a takeout close to a Lewiston. We both cannot wait until next year as we unanimously decided that this will be an annual event. It was a lot like backpacking but in sheer luxury with 3 course meals (I was the appetizer chef), camp chairs, music and other luxuries we're not used to in the backcountry. We even slept outside one night to watch the stars. After the awesomeness of the trip, Dave worked long hours to finish up the bathroom cabinets (5 of them, knotty alder, really pretty) and I volunteered some more, packed us up and baked some more goodies for the smokejumpers. We had a goodbye dinner at the Sushi place with our friend Thaona and Emily & Brian before hitting the road. I'm writing this from Murphy, North Carolina, so we've arrived safely after 5 long hot days of scenic driving. I'll put travel pictures up next, since we got to visit Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota, have a cheese stop in Wisconsin, and a day to visit Dave's family (including his cousins!) in Fort Wayne, Indiana. It was a wonderful stop!
