My favorite vacation ever was a 5 day private trip down the Middle Fork
of the Salmon in Idaho. We camped out on splendid beaches everynight -
one was across the river from a hot spring which we visited in the
dark, another had its own waterfall streaming down the riverbank across
from us, a third was in the pines and had lots of wildlife. The rapids
were fun but not too hard. There were hikes to see ancient
petroglyphs. And everytime we turned around another river bend, the
scenery changed and was breathtaking each and every time. Plus, we had
an interesting and fun group of people.
