…the wonderful six days we spent on the Middle Fork with your terrific crew. From beginning to end, they were a special team making sure that all twenty three of us were happy, satiated (what great food!), and content…

Such a rare and unique opportunity to get away from city life and experience river time…. I enjoyed every moment, going between boats, great food, kids being kids, and good company. No one could have justly described the experience until I tasted it myself…. I am already thinking of my core friends who need to experience this and with whom, I shall travel with next year down the Snake. Perhaps a JAZZ trip also in a couple of years…

My 9 year old was beyond thrilled that Buzz let her help make a bir… Read more
