ok, so my guys rode down the salmon river valley yesterday 113 miles, bypassing sun valley and avoiding climbs........scw came up with the route that varried greatly from the one that daddy had originally planned........they had a tailwind, and the 113 miles took less effort than one might think........thus, they are a full day ahead of schedule, which might mean that they will be this side of yellowstone on monday..........alas, the joy of their success was soon dampened by our news that the dock is still in the tree due to the high water and that the boat is still sunk and that the rain continues...........
