Thanks, Mocha.


I had intended to do more reports, but lately I cannot get my photos to load from Photobucket like I used to. I liked inserting the full-size photos that didn't have to be "clicked", and all of my other reports had those. But suddenly that doesn't work anymore. Perhaps because we moved and we have a different form of Internet provider.


As I get more time, I have a few more that I would like to do. But since we won't be taking any more new trips, they will all be a bit "historical" like this one.


As I was working on it, it was hard to believe that it was ten years ago.

Hey Wise Lady!!!! Another great report and pictures and I look forward to more of them.


Speaking of your "big pictures" that you used to be able to have in your reports...... How's HoHo doing? I can't remember the last time I saw a post from him.

Hi ducks!


HoHo is doing well. I think he and David are just so busy with living up in the canoe country that he isn't spend much time on the Internet anymore. They are paddling in the Quetico often, and also had a nice trip in Europe this spring. I just had an email correspondence with him this past week, and he is nursing a sore wrist, but I don't think it is going to keep him from paddling for long.

Great report, nice read, the minute i read "the elephant trip"
i was certian it was a Centennial referance,


"The rivers were turbulent: Sweetwater, Green, Snake, Yellowstone, but the hills were rolling and much less severe than the Rockies. It was an amiable land...


my faverite book
