Signed up for a Snake River trip from Clarkston, WA to the Hells Canyon dam
on Wednesday. Got a call at 6am this morning, no trip on Wednesday but one
today at 7am. Quickly got ready and walked to the tour office next door to
the RV Park. Great trip. 225 miles, 11 hours. Saw coyotes, big horn
sheep, elk, deer, bear, bald and golden eagle, ospreys. Some nice class 1
to 5 rapids. Included continental breakfast, nice fried chicken lunch,
cookie break and swimming this afternoon. Plus Nez pierce petroglyphs.
Great trip by Snake Dancer Excursions. How much boating did you do this
week?

Sounds great! I'd like to try that sometime. We still have fond
memories of the jet boat excursion we did on the Chilkat River in
Alaska.

Jet boats are big in Alaska. That was the first place I saw a jet foot
on an outboard and they were everywhere.
Our Eskimo host said aluminum boats and jets are the only thing that
will survive in their rocky rivers.
The beaches there are even rock. It is that black lava "river rock"
you see as landscape material around here. If you can walk down to the
"beach" from the cruise docks in Seward you will see it.
