Same here!
Thanks to all for their great advice.
I am pumped and looking forward to making and organozing my first tripp w my
grand daughter
My grandson -(the terror) is still 4-5 yrs away from a trip

I have contacted some outfitters on the Snake for raft and drift boat trips
( a fu;; days drive).

I will also contact some outfitters near Yellowstone for a pack trip
I would like to pack in my fishing mandolin and a keyboard for her - she
already rides and she pays a great piano
We will probably have to do tailored trip to a river or some streams

We will limit it to 3-4 days 5 or 6 w travel - not too far from home
Thats enough for a young pre teenager who is getting real popular
We can get into more exotic fishing trips - after this initial one

I did conatct an outfitter in Joseph OR who would take us on the Grande
Ronde for 4 days
Is anyone familiar w this river or area?

Thanks again for all the sagacity on the list.

One can still get some good info and advice on this nutso list!
