article, Kathy! Totally speechless, 'cept for one question.
When you say Part I, does that mean there will be a Part II???
Sounds like you really miss these fond memories of days gone by.
Do I feel a "Humphrey Bogart" song coming on???

Re: This is a very nice
Glad you think so Larry! Yep! Part II is about my 2008 trip down the mighty Arkansas - a river with enormous rapids. Actually, the song would be something from Switchfoot......my favorite tune back then!
I enjoyed your write-up. I've boated the Middle Fork and the upper Main Salmon and loved it. I was able to get in some hikes too. I hope to get a trip down the Lower salmon some day. I look forward to your future articles!

Re: Nice article!
I'm jealous! I really want to try the Middle Fork since I hear it's much more rugged and challenging water! And thank you for the nice comment about my article; I'm working on Part II right now. Happy Holidays Tracy!
Very nice article Kathy! I enjoy your writing style. It makes for enjoyable reading. The pictures are quite the bonus as well.

Mark - Thank you for the compliments on my article. I tried to be informative and humorous; glad you liked the photos also. Hopefully Part II will turn out as well!
Fine writing and great voice. I can tell you really enjoyed yourself! I grew up in Idaho and have been on the Salmon River several times. Beautiful country.

Thank you! I did enjoy myself. Lucky you growing up in such a beautiful place! Happy Holidays!

Great read. Makes me look forward to the next time I can get out on the river. Also neat seeing some local names thrown in there: the Yough and the Cheat! I'm from the Ligonier area of PA and I love the Yough and the Ohiopyle area; they're my stomping grounds o' choice!

Re: Great!Thanks! The Yough is the first river I rafted on and love. We bought land in PA to build on near Chambersburg. My family roots are actually in PA.
You have some great rivers out in the west too!
Again, thanks for reading!
