Today, Thursday June 26 was another rest day in Boise. So Cathy and I toured the Anne Frank Memorial which was really sobering and inspiring. When I think of the partisan bickering today over ideology without reasonable debate and due diligence and much of it over non-issues while significant matters are ignored or impeded by distractions, I find it heartening to be re-introduced to these quotes that drive to the heart of what truly matters and what people really should care and be concerned about.
Here are some of the quotes on the wall at the memorial. FYI, you can click on the photo to make it larger. Click on the photo again to scroll through the photos.
June 29 Lv BC Arr Stanley 39 mi. (Lower Stanley Lodge)
June 30 Lv Stanley Arr Challis 57 mi.
July 1 Lv Challis Arr North Fork 80 mi. (bottom of 160 mile descent)

We went there with our good friends in Boise, Barry and Maria. I had the pleasure of working with Barry several times in Washington when he would come and support our international disaster response operations in the ops center or on disaster response teams.It was really great seeing them again.
In another part of town there was some really impressive graffiti murals which go a long way to enhancing what would otherwise be very boring concrete walls in parking lots and alleyways. (FYI you can click on the photos to view them full screen, and then scroll through them by clicking on the photo again).
Tomorrow we take off toward Missoula, Montana through the beautiful Sawtooth Mountains and Bitterroot Mountains and Valley. The schedule looks something like this:
June 27: Lv Boise Arr Joe's (Garden Valley) 51 miles
June 28: LV Joe's Arr Bonneville Cmpgrd 45 mi.
July 2 Lv NF Arr Darby, MT 44 mi.
July 3 Lv Darby Arr Missoula 65 mi.
Wish us luck!
