| Lee & Cynthia on the Priest River |
The day before this run, I drove to Spokane to stay at the Bow & Pitcher campground next to the Spokane River. I met up with my friends Lee and Cynthia for our second annual Whirlwind IK Tour. This year's tour was called "The Saints Kiss the Ring" because it involved several runs on rivers whose names begin with "Saint". The Priest River, of course, doesn't being with Saint, but it is in the same vein.
We met up with a friend of Lee and Cynthia at the put-in, and the four of us ran two laps. This run is only about 3 miles long, and it has only a couple of class III rapids, but it was a beautiful sunny day and the water was clear and not too cold.
At the end of the day, we had to decide where we were going next. The original plan had been to go up North to the Moyie, but we didn't have a person to guide us and we decided to go to a more familiar river. So, we headed South through the town of Wallace, Idaho and up over Moon Pass. We camped in a pullout on the side of a dusty dirt road, sleeping in our vehicles.
