Lower Salmon Trip with the Upchurches

Pine Bar to Heller Bar was the plan. We had been talking this trip up to the Upchurches for the past year and now it was time to get it together and show them what we do every summer.

We put on the river just about 11:00 AM and pushed on down, our goal was about 12 miles down which would be somewhere around 2 miles below Killer Goat Beach. That was the plan, but the wind came up and the weather moved in making progress a little slower then anticipated. The wind was blowing upstream making rowing a little hard. Rain added to the fun, but wasn't too uncomfortable. We selected a camp below KGB on river left. It was a smaller beach that had two camp areas separated by a mote. Darren created a rock bridge and dry passage was achieved.
