August 1-6, 2008 Middle Fork Trip

This last week on the Middle Fork of the Salmon was absolutely spectacular. With the water holding we went off "the top" for the last time of the season and did the rock dodging dance with little mayhem. Cove Creek, the big "new" rapid and one of three big blowouts from two weeks ago, was exciting and fun. Thanks everyone for the awesome trip, we're looking forward to floating more rivers with you in the future.

On our August 25, 2008 Middle Fork trip, we did a 3-day deadhead from Indian Creek to Bernard Creek. On our second day, we got to Cove Creek early to catch some footage of other boaters coming through. Here's the video we came up with:

Cove Creek, a "new" rapid on the Middle Fork, has provided an interesting twist on the Middle Fork. Check out the video of a few of our runs:
