Ancient petroglyph in Chilean desert. Several hillsides were covered with them.

We got our third day of rain for the month today, ~7/8"!


and then we had a beautiful sunset. The pics don't really do it justice.

They were roommates for two years in NYC. Her friends mother is Indian and the father is American, retired Army 0-6....great family. Arden is in Delhi, north, for a few days then they all move to the wedding venue even farther north.

Great experience.

I was assuming there had to be family there. Absolutely, great experience!

Very nice SS!

Frasier River from Hell's Gate suspension in 2008.

Amazed at how much this style of raft flexes it's way through the waves




Spare motor included

Four Army Surplus bridge pontoons strapped together. Some friends and I built a sweep boat for rafting the Salmon River in Idaho out of two of them. It had a welded up ridged frame between the two pontoons with a plywood floor at the bottom and did not flex much. The plywood boxes kept our gear sort of dry. I was let off and walked down river to take this shot going through some white water.

We made a total of three trips, during three different years, with the raft back in the early 70s. Then some outfitter made us an offer we couldn't refuse so we sold the raft. We figured we had got our money's worth out of it.
This shows the inside of the frame and the small outboard for calm spots.

Making some repairs to the frame after the fist year we ran the river.

The raft and all our gear at the point where we would start our four day float.

Looking down at Salmon Falls. We always stopped to scout out the major rapids.

I know it’s high maintenance. But, bought it from a reputable dealer and they went through everything and only 49k miles. Lots of power.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.

Rutting season and getting mean mugged. Even our local “Stumpy” has shown up for the party.
