Hello WRV Paddlers!
Two requests from the community:
(1) What do YOU, the community, want to see as a fundraising event this Spring? We had a blast showing the film "Big Water Theory" at The Liberty Theater last year. Should we do another film night? Or should we bring back the Big Wood Race? Or an open mic river storytelling night at The Wylde Beet? Please let us know what type of event you want to see!
(2) This year, we would like to have a raffle or auction at the fundraising event. For any businesses out there that would like to make a donation to the raffle/auction, please get in touch with Matthias at 208-720-6050 or [email protected].
Thanks everyone! Can't wait to share the news of the engineering progress we have made over the last year thanks to all your support!

Jimmy’s Memorial on the South Fork Salmon. Not visible in the picture, but a bighorn ram stood on the other side of the river watching us, then turned and scrambled up the mountain. Powerful moment in a powerful place.
