If It's July, This Must Be Idaho

So off I'll go tomorrow morning for my second Middle Fork trip this season. It'll be down to about 2.2 feet on the gauge, a low level I haven't experienced for 9 years. I am looking forward to it - warm weather, read-and-run boating, and generally a low key atmosphere. The recent posts on the idahowhitewater yahoo group suggest that the problematic rapids - Lake Creek, Tappan 3 and House Rock - will be mellow. I hope next year you can join me.
Last week I boated the Main Salmon, a really enjoyable trip. It's definitely bigger water, but mellow enough to enjoy. We had wonderful weather - dry, perhaps a little too hot. A family trip, we had 5 teenagers, one of whom was an amazing whitewater kayaker. Next year, maybe it'll be my own family...
