We did a quick trip to Stanley and beyond for Memorial Day. The rivers and streams are running and they call out LOUDLY to Darren. We ran Yankee Fork and part of the Main Salmon daily (Shotgun through Sunbeam). We took a great crew and had a great day despite the clouds and cool temperatures. We were all dressed for any kind of weather or an unfortunate swim, which fortunatley no one took!
Darren coming out of Yankee Fork. It was a fast creek run, not too pushy, but certainly many obstacles to avoid.
The crew with Murray as the guide.
Scott
The brothers Williams (Don and Monte)
David is oh so hot on this toasty morning.
Darren kayaking Shotgun - he is actually in there, I promise.
The boys going into Shotgun. This ride wasn't as exciting as the first one when Murray was shot to the front of the boat, high enough to clear Norene and I, and make a clean landing down the center of the boat! It ain't called "Shutgun" for nothing!
Tad surfing Shotgun.
Murray discovering his paddle problem, the rest of us playing dumb.
The remnants of the paddle Norene brought all the way down Yankee Fork. The paddle was brand new in the plastic on the first run of the morning! An unfortunate accident led to its demise. What a fun, beautiful day on the river. It was awesome to be on the river with snow still in the mountains, and no other groups in sight! We couldn't have asked for a better group to paddle with! More river running to come!

It looks like you had a great time! It makes me remember how much fun we had on the Snake river last summer! The zip line and the yard look great.
You guys never stop! Looks like you've had a lot of fun and done lots of work! Glad all is going well.
