Not into White water but that is a beautiful river. Thanks for sharing your trips.

Very nice. Would that be a solar trickle charger on the front of your trailer?

Just moved to Idaho last year. We floated down the Snake just south of Lewiston. I'd like to step up to the next level sometime. Thanks for the pics!

Dread:
Yep solar trickle charger. Works pretty well. I just got back from a 6 day camping trip, camped in the same place the whole time so never had the trailer hooked up to the car and after six days I still had ~13v. Not a real heavy battery user but I use the lights at night, charge our cell phones every day or two, fan occasionally and our Archos video player runs off it too.

You are lucky. Idaho has the best whitewater anywhere. Although the section of the Snake above is in Wyoming, I do quite a bit of boating in Idaho. The Payette is one of my favorites. The Main Payette is great and the Cabarton section on the North Fork is awesome. You should give them a try sometime. Aside from the Snake and Payette, you guys also have the Lochsa, the Salmon, and the Selway. Some of the greatest water anywhere.
