Savannah at the Middle Fork of the Salmon River, Idaho

In early July 2012 I flew my Savannah VGW/XL from Denver to the Salmon River near Challis Idaho - about 650 miles.  I used the Sulphur Creek Ranch as my base camp and flew into several back country landing strips, accessible only by air or river raft.  Thomas Creek, Mahoney Creek, Upper loon Creek and Cabin creek.  Here's a link to a video if my landing at Upper Loon.
