Rafting again!

This time it's the... (need I say it???) S-A-L-M-O-N river. Yup, hitting the middle fork of the Salmon river in Idaho. 100 rapids in 100 miles! No cell phone. No computer.

So... update:

All steel caliper orders have been either shipped or are in plating next week while we're out (timed it that way). Yes, we're swamped right now so there's a large batch in plating. Everything's been built that can be built.

All aluminum calipers are being de-anodized, polished and re-anodized.

All CV orders are with Mr. Mueller etc.

Rotors are either in cryo or still at the machine shop (which is equally as swamped... or so they say )

Thanks everyone... I need a little time off.

An enormous blowout (landslide) caused the river to alter it's course through the woods... this lone Ponderosa stands testament (for now). This was one of the trickier sections.:

Elk Bar was our camp for the final night. We were visited by a black bear that night. No carnage, just sniffing around.:

Most of the extreme white-water is on video. There were some serious class IV's in this section of the river. Fun, fun stuff.
