7/18/2006: Henry`s Fork, Riverside CG to Hatchery Ford Rd.
With: Jon Hitchings, Karen Egbert, Gisela Padmali, Bernie Culpepper | ||
We paddled the Henry's Fork from Riverside CG to Fish Hatchery Road at 2250 cfs on the Ashton gauge. After we got off the river we went sight-seeing at Mesa Falls, then started our longest trek other than crossing the country. We took US-20, ID-287, MT-87, and US-287 north to I-90 and I-90 west. We ran into a group of paddling buddies of mine from Maryland, Georgia, and Texas at the Rock Creek Campground, but continued on to find a very nice commercial campground at Clinton, about 12 miles east of Missoula. |
