I just returned from 8 days rafting in the Idaho wilderness. Swimming ten times a day in a wild, cool river to get out of the heat, learning to navigate a raft through rapids, and enjoying great company and great views. It all kept me busy and happy.
On our last day we noticed the river was full of sediment. It turned out that rafters mere days behind us on the Middle Fork were stuck by a surprise landslide that sent dozens of trees in the river, blocking the way. It was well reported by The Idaho Statemen, a Boise newspaper. Check out their articles for pictures, movies, and details.
