We LOVE receiving notes from the remote residents of Hells Canyon... our winter mailboat "Rush Creek" is known to many of them as "GRABBER". Several years ago Captain Jim painted "Rush Creek" Grabber Orange, the brightest color of the 1970 Ford Grabber Mustang and a bright sight for the "off-grid" Snake River locals!

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world below
Up where the clear winds blow...Lyrics by recording artist's Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes ~ Eagle taking flight over the Snake River by Hells Canyon!

Belted Kingfisher's are hard enough to capture while perched, photographing them while in flight increases the difficulty by magnitudes. You have to be quick on the trigger and lucky enough to keep them in frame because they are extremely sensitive to movement and and fly off in any direction SO FAST! This is the BEST shot I could manage for YOU!

THE FOUR YEAR RING...the most predominate dark colored ring is the important thing to look at when determining the age of a Rocky Mountain Big Horn Sheep. Once you determine the four year ring, you count the rings toward the skull from there. If the four year ring is above the ear, the ram is probably less than 8 years old, like this one, seen yesterday in the picturesque Hells Canyon National Recreation Area!

Last night Autumn collided with Winter in the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area...and left us with nothing less than magical scenery to enjoy while we delivered the weekly US Mail to the remote residents along the Snake River!

Kirby Creek Rapids is an example of rapids created by creeks, Kirby Creek and Muir Creek coming into the Snake River from opposite sides. During the 1940’s US Mail Boat captain Kyle McGrady called Kirby Creek rapids one of the most dangerous when the Snake River was at flood stage!
