Goofing Off When I Should Be Looking at New Bows
« on: July 19, 2007, 12:06:32 pm »
Just got back from a three camping nites, two river days canoeing the North Fork of the Flathead River.  This river comes out of Canada and is the western boundary for Glacier National Park.  Very remote. River challenging in places.  Put 140 miles shuttling pickup trucks on a washboardy road. Use my old Grumman rather than my new kevlar Wenonah

Great pics Don. That looks like the river I waded in when I visited Glacier back in 98/99. I was visiting Ric Anderson (Marriah Bows) in Whitefish. Beautiful place....Thanks

I told my wife--'we're moving.  Alaska, Montana, Idaho, or Colorado--you pick.'
