River in Idaho -
-Floating it for 6 days - in July

We are gonna have a great time!
Iit will be an easy first trip.

She is a sweet, smart and loveable kid.

If you stop in Stanley (and you probably will) give me a shout out.

The Middle Fork is a great float. I've done it several times. You'll
get wet.

Congrats, Fred. I envy you. Hey, wasn't it me that suggested the
float on the Middle Fork? d;o)

My #2 grandson and I flew into a forest ranger airfield on the Middle
Fork (by the foot bridge) with a guide and spent 3 days fishing for
cuts and bows. We slept under the stars, something my grandson has
never done before. Beautiful spot.

Have fun.

Dave

We will buy you dinner or -depending on when we arrive - at least a drink
or 2.

or
Where would you stay w 3 people for a night?

I'll take you to the Rod & Gun for some local color. :-)

Most of the outfitters put their clients up in the Mountain Village,
which is a pretty basic motel. Don't eat at the restaurant -- go to
the Stanley Bakery or to Elk Mountain, which is the best bang for the
buck. Woolley's in Lower Stanley is a good spot for burgers and for
sitting on the deck watching ospreys feasting on stocker trout in the
Salmon River. Redfish Lodge is a very nice place to stay and has a
good restaurant.

You can check out other accommodations at the Stanley Chamber of
Commerce web site. Don't delay -- rooms book up early for July, the
peak season.

I'm planning on building a new house in July, and I don't have room
for you in my small existing cabin. If it were the next year you'd be
welcome to stay with me.

There's no food at the Rod&Gun. The Kasino Klub down the street isn't
bad.

It will take at least 6 hours from Missoula. Probably more.
