Hi Don: Here are some photos of float trips per your request. Al Price and I
have been floating together since 1982 when we started in an old
(“surveyed”) 7”X12”
Alan Price
Lower Salmon River 8/99
Our first trip was from North Fork, Idaho, to
Riggins Idaho, 160 miles on the main Salmon River. This takes you right
across the state (Idaho) in the central region.
The Eye of the Needle
In all the trips we only flipped the boat once and that was a fluke.
We’re also done some major repair, but as time rolls on, the gear has
gotten better and we learned a little. Mostly, they’re just great fun
trips. (Thank you for doing such a super job with the 50’s Frogs). —Aloha, Jim Kline:

Editor’s note: Thanks Jim for the great photos. I am printing them in
color, a first for the 50’s Frogs Magazine. I just couldn’t bring myself
to print them in B&W. I hope that all enjoy them and your rolling on the
river. We’ve heard a lot about East Coast frogs and river trips. The
lower Salmon River country looks like neat place to be and fun, unlike
one of Mack Boynton’s survival trips down the Colorado from Needles to
Yuma.
But… it was a privilege to be a member of the Royal Order of the Black
Paddle! Don B.
