We all met in Stanley the afternoon of August 23 for orientation - the first of John's "irritating public information messages". The next morning we were flown to Indian Creek, about a half hour trip. We floated the Middle Fork from there to Corn Creek on the Main Salmon, about 80 miles, where we loaded everything into a bus for the three hour bus ride to Salmon. That night, August 29, we all had a final dinner together for last hugs and goodbyes. |
