Can you look into a raft trip down the Samon, I guess that would be up the samon see-ins how the samon flows north.

It'll be GA, TN, MS & LA in April and May, Barcelona and Provence in June, Kona and Oahu in July and now you say you want me to go to Washington in August ?
Yes, Yes, I think I can do that although the banco puercito might take some buggering. Be just in time for the Shakespeare Festival in Ashland OR too

I'm getting my annual haircut next week! Should still be good by August!


I want you to know that If you want to visit the Beautiful Sunnyside of Washington (Eastern Washington with its 1,000 shades of Brown) you'll have to visit Ellensburg.

Oh, Ellensburg Hay, was just chosen to be the official HAY for the 2004 and Olympics. All the horses at the Olympic Games will be eating Ellensburg HAY. ANDERSON HAY of Ellensburg, WA won the contract because the quality of timothy hay was the best in the World! Anyway it made the headlines in the paper yesterday. Just thought I'd throw that in.

Ron , I can arrange a float trip down the Yakima River for You! Not Quite as scenic and long but we do have lots of Deer and Big Horn Sheep and the fly fishing in August is Great. I'm a guide and have taken many a wary angler down the Yakima. [I've only lost four to drowning, the others made it but are all confined to a mental institution.]

Anyway I am gonna talk to Paul tonight..enlist David into talking him into taking the excursion to Washington and *man!* can't wait to see you all there!
The start date is August 5th? Til when?

The Yakima River, Has white water? Now remember I have been on the Samon and Snake rivers twice.

Ron

Has a little white water not like the Salmon or the Colorado. Its mostly know for its fly fishing. 40 - 50 thousand fly fisherman float the Yakima each year. Mostly from the greater Seattle area. We lose a couple of drunk college students each year who float the river on inner tubes. If you are drunk, the rapids are no place to be. Our rapids are pretty easy stuff. The Yakima river flow is a little more than the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. I took 15 Jr. Hi kids down the Yakima last Summer. We make them all wear vests. Really Pretty safe but it can be dangerous like any free flowing major river.

Ron,
Whenever we first started talking about the West Coast Campout this year several guys showed some interest in white-water rafting.I contacted my buddy in Idaho and we`re good to go,but salmon fishing seems to have more votes.We can always plan a seperate rafting trip on a different date and go over and float the Salmon or the Lochsa.Frisco Tom,I know woould love to do it again...Me too!
James,
I would love to see you make it up here.You could answer the age-old question for your very own self...."Where the HELL is Sequim???"

Griz why don't you book the salmon fishing trip for monday that way our california brothers and sisters don't have to burn too much vacation to come to the campout . also looked up squim bay campground and they have a huge group camping spot that would fit everybody and the campground has 3 showers for the ladys who just have to have a shower every morning ha I speak of Irisheyes my wife and soulmate. The monday trip is just a suggestion the campout is yours to do as you wish bro just trying to make things easy for everyone since dave and bern and hoyin and paul and frisco and I haven't retired yet. you lucky old buzzard. P.S. Attention Andy and Curtis Alaska airlines has dirrect flights from Boston to seattle everyday come on out and partake.

Can't wait to meet y'all. That campground sounds great, may have to borrow a tent or tarp from somebody though. Hugs in advance.

Or maybe you don't care for the guide.
