Day Two of our White-Water Rafting Trip on the Lower Salmon River:
We stayed up last night & watched the stars come out - they were beautiful! The sky is so clear, you can see the Milky Way.
Caught a glimpse of something moving on the beach as we went to bed. Nearly scared me to death! Turns out, it was a frog. We didn't think too much about it at the time, but the next morning, the beach was covered with dozens of frog foot prints. They had a party on the beach while we were sleeping.
We went through lots of Class II and III rapids today. It was very fun and I got splashed a lot. Saw lots of critters today: some kind of crane, a kingfisher, a small herd of deer that had taken refuge from the heat of the day in the shade of a small grove of trees, and we even saw an osprey catch a fish right out of the river!
We camped just below White House Bar. We went swimming, then had taco soup & chips for dinner.
We think we spotted otter prints on the beach when we landed. There are tons of black furry caterpillars on this beach, too.
Looks like another gorgeous night on the river.
