Baptism by Whitewater: Running the Salmon River

One of the pleasures of my job includes doing “research” such as my recent trip down the Middle Fork of the Salmon River in Idaho. I had a wonderful trip organized by Solitude Rafting Company of Ketchum and wrote about it for a story in the latest issue of Mountain Gazette, with the link included below. As I tell the students in my Seattle writing classes, travel writing classes and online writing classes, such trips are full of the rich and significant detail that make for great scenes and great stories. Here’s a link to the story; please let me know what you think: Baptism by Whitewater: Running the Salmon River
