Return from the River of No Return
The central adventure of the summer was a 7 day, 80 mile, self-supported float trip on the Salmon River in Idaho for Ben, Mame, Sam & Grandpa Glenn. We joined three other families from NC, a couple from Idaho and their friend from New Mexico.
The adventure started with Ben, Sam & Glenn driving from Asheville to Salmon, ID and meeting up with Mame and the rest of the crew. Geared up at Blackadar Boating and then spent the night at the put-in, Corn Creek, to be in place for departure the following morning.
After that it was 7 days of floating from sandy beach to sandy beach with some exciting rapids in between. Sam tackled much of the river in his kayak (above) and Mame in the maiden voyage with her brand new canoe.
