There are few things in life that can be as healing and as nurturing as spending time with nature. In just a few short days I have the good fortune to be spending a week on the Main Salmon River. We will float 84miles from Corn Creek (near Salmon Idaho) to Vinegar Creek (near Riggins, Idaho). On the river, time moves slower. The river has no place to be and it can not be rushed, pushed, scheduled, or put on any agenda. Camera will be in tow and I can not wait… And because no post is complete without a photos:
This photo was made on the Snake River in the summer of 2007. The river burned on both sides for most of the 40 mile stretch of river that is typically floated (Battle Creek Complex and Poe Cabin fires). We ended up having to take a jet boat back to the dam because of the take out was on fire and access had been restricted to fire crew only.
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.” – Henry David Thoreau
Sitting in salmon right now, visiting home… the water and weather is great :)
Wished I was right there with you! Soon!
