Excerpt: Buttoned-up for the Season Reaching this time of the year brings a big sigh of relief. Another successful river season has come to an end and now it is time to slow down, take and deep breathe and embrace fall and winter. At the end of each season there is a good amount of work to be done to close up shop and get everything ready for winter. Guides that do not have school to go back to often hang around and help us get everything put up, for which we are very grateful. We begin by breaking down our lunch camp. Cindy…

Dave and I push up our shirt-sleeves and get to work putting things together, antsy for the season to get underway. This time around we discovered more snow than usual on the mountain passes going to Stanley as well as…

Excerpt: Whew! Home again after an amazingly fun vacation to Southern California. The weather was more than cooperative as we wound our way from San Diego and all the fun it has to offer, up to Legoland in Carlsbad and finally to Anaheim for days of fun at Disneyland and California Adventure. Surprisingly, everything went smoothly, from our plane and hotel experiences to our recreation and theme park adventures. OK…we did have one close call with a plane connection, but we made the flight so that’s all that counts, right? Ultimately, while I did make some calls beforehand to check things out,…

Excerpt: Writing about my favorite things to do in Sun Valley last week got me thinking about all the things I love to do in Stanley too. Embedded in the middle of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, Stanley is a spectacular place. A visit here will leave you wanting to come back again and again. For those of you coming from far away, especially if it is your first time to the area, here is my list of must-do’s in Stanley. Spend the day at Redfish Lake—I never get bored at Redfish. The kids and I go there several times a week…
