Love the photos, particularly the last one. I'd love to be able to do something like that...though I could see me losing my camera along the way, lol.

Wayne, splendid pictures of splendid scenery.
In no. 3, what are those spikes behind the animal? Iron bars or dead plant stems?

They are plants. No fences in that country.

Great pictures Wayne.
I fallowed the link to view them all, but You have got my curiosity going, Who is or was Buckskin Billy and is Mackay Bar a river feature or a watering hole to calm your nerves after the ride.

Buckskin Billy was a hermit who lived on the river for many years. He did in the 1980s. He was pretty much self sufficient--even made his own firearms. There were a number of articles done in newspapersa and on TV about him.
MacKay Bar is at the junction of the main fork of the Salmon and the south fork. The only way to reach it is by air, boat, horseback or by hiking in. There is a lodge and a number of cabins there and people pay some serious money to vacation there. It's also a stopping place for the rafters coming downriver out of the Frank Church Wilderness Area. It's one of the few places left on private ground along the river. Over the years the Forest Service has bought up most of the old homesteads and burned down the buildings on them. Buckskin Billy's and the Polly Bemis Ranch are the other main pieces of privately owned land and were only talkins a few acres in each case.

What a spectacular place.
I wish I could give the order to "Beam me there Scotty."
Great pictures.
