The other day I was reading Zimo’s blog and came across this post.
After reading it I decided to do a little research and find a local news article about the findings. I found this article from the Seattle Times talking about the discovery.

While cruising across Echo’s Blog I found a post about National Geographic highlighting the Top 10 Whitewater Rafting.
It looks like the Middle Fork of the Salmon made #3! That’s excellent considering out of the 10, only two of them are in the United States.

Idaho Whitewater Association’s annual Home Movie Night is coming up on Wednesday, January 6 at Cascade Outfitters/Maravia. This is always a fun event, but we need YOUR help to make it a success! Please consider submitting some footage or slides to share with your fellow boaters. Old stuff, new stuff, wild to mild, action or scenery….its ALL GOOD!
