Took off work around noon Friday and left the house ~ 2pm. We stopped at the Boise Stage for lunch (which may have been a mistake for me.

Saturday morning I had to make several emergency donations to the John Marvel Water Shed Project). I lost count of all the Lear Jet greenies as we drove past the Sun Valley airport. Pulled into the camp spot ~ 6:30 PM. Gerald was just getting his trailer set up. I set up next to the creek again.

Owen arrived ~ 9:30- 10 pm. Scott had to fill in the gaps on THE MAN FROM LARAMIE, had to know who was selling the repeaters to the Indians !

THE ROUTE - RAINBOW TRAIL =>GRAND PRIZE GULCH => EAST FORK OF SALMON RIVER & BACK ~ 38 MILES

All the boys did good riding in. Scott got tired and fluster on the way back went over the handle bars once, bobbled on a few rocks and limb pull him off his bike. But he stuck with it and rode all the way back with a little bet of help.

Late Saturday afternoon the rest of crew rode up to the mines. Scott and I tried our luck fishing in Pole Creek, but got skunked.

Sunday morning Scott 7 I did a 4-5 mile bicycle ride to Grand Prize trail head & back. We started back home about 11am.
