Main Salmon River Trip - Day 4: Tepee Creek to Lower Bull Creek

My favorite day of the trip was Day Four (if you don't count the hot springs). After a few morning clouds we had sun much of the day. 


We visited the Buckskin Bill Museum and store. It was a treat to see the way he had lived in this river canyon by his own efforts for many years - if he needed something, he figured out a way to make it with what he had on hand. The kids loved eating ice cream before lunch. The grounds were impeccable and they grow an incredible garden.










The float was pretty flat on this stretch. The kids rowed a lot.





Can you find the goats?
We were also able to tie the rafts together and float this flat section.
Horses on a beach!

We had an incredibly beautiful camp at Lower Bull Creek on our final river night. It had a giant beach, trees for shade and hammocks, a little rapid in front of camp to play in. It was my favorite camp by far.




Goats in our campsite.

We had made good time on the river and made it to camp early enough to relax and play before having to start the work of dinner.





The guys, Edison, and Charlotte all hopped in and swam this little wave train.





Beach life.... 

After dinner, we played charades. Reed loves acting and we got a video of his best act-it-out. Let me know if you think you know what word it was for :-)
