I'm heading yer direction next month, but won't get as far west as you
are. We'll be mostly in Northern CO, western WY, and southwestern MT.
Maybe a bit of ID near Yellowstone.

Some of my friends are running the Something Fork of the Flathead in MT,
over July 4th, so perhaps you'll see them!

I don't usually say much about gear, but these 5.10 dot-pattern soles
are pretty amazing for river use. When I wear my regular shoes, it feels
like I'm ready to slip at any time.

The only piece of gear that has impressed me so much is the Thermarest,
and that was 25 years ago.
