Scott Schaefer makes a run down dagger falls in this colloge photo.
Scott Schaefer shows the line to run Dagger Falls above Boundry Creek on the Middle Fork of the Salmon. This is a collage of 4 photos. Can you find the third image in this sequence? Hint: buried in the hole? Before the road is opened the only way to get into the Middle Fork is to run Marsh Creek for 16 miles and then eith run Dagger Falls like Scott did or portage around. I like flows around 5.5' to 6.5' to run Dagger Falls. Note the Salmon jumping up the Falls on the other side of the river from scott. Click the photo for a larger image.

Big Smiley from Missoula reports...What it is? Smilin' in Zootown. Got to run the Snake like we planned across Columbus Day weekend....oh ya! Got to crash the Garbagescow in Granite...we entered a bit too far ta the right like about ten to fifteen feet to far and tried to bust thru the ledge wave. Damn near made it! Momma swam and I swam, our passenger from Wyoming stayed in...don't know how but do believe she's still pullin' Hypalon outta her fingernails!! No damage and good fun!

With determination to conquer the rapid he and Ted Day ran it Sunday at flows of 1850 cfs.
