Yuh; that's probably what I should have remembered: Boundary Creek.
Whichever put-in is almost exactly 100 miles (including a mile or two
on the Main Salmon) upstream from the Forest Service takeout, as I
recall. A longish first day to get to where the rafts could put in,
then four and a half leisurely days to the take-out.

Yup, you put in at Boundary Creek and the rafters flew gear into
Indian Creek and put in there. Dagger Falls is just upstream of where
you OCers put in, and is rated class IV or V.

I tried to Google up a map to jog my memory, but I just don't have time
to wade thru all the sales bumph on most of the sites Google finds.

Try this if you have time. It's a new topo site mentioned a few days ago
on rec.backcountry. Looks better zoomed in with one + click.

But my overall opinion of the trip is that it is not a place I would
ever go to again for the whitewater; though if I had the leisure to
spend time repeating the same experience it is certainly a place I
would go to over and over again for the *place*. As it is, though,
while my leisure time is so sharply constrained, I will keep going to
places new and different, and save a repeat trip to the Middle Fork
until after I retire.

You ran it at very low water, if the rafts had to fly to Indian Creek.
Most rafters will start at the top down to 2' on the MF Lodge gauge,
and commercial guides are expected to "deadhead" boats without guests
down to 1.7' on the gauge.

Reports indicate the whitewater picks up at higher flows! Even at 2'
there is moving water and class 2 riffles most of the way, which is
more than you can say for the Grand Canyon.
