Laura's First Rafting Trip


We headed out of North Fork, ID, intending to float the Salmon River. But spring rains had raised the waters to flood stage.

So, we drove till we got cell phone service again and found a last minute cancellation on the Smith River in Montana. The rains worked in our favor in getting the permit as it spoiled the fishing :)

We spent the night in Broke Back country, in a town called White Sulphur Springs. It lives up to its name.
