Just had to escape the heat again today, & took the dogs up to the Salmon River trail this afternoon - & perhaps just to mark the occasion in a can’t-go-back-now way, took my first trail run of many years. We did ~5 miles round trip, from the bridge crossing on the Salmon River Road to the wilderness area gate & back. I felt pretty good about myself, tho Rosie ran circles around me the whole way. Mollie (my 8 year-old golden) kept looking at me strangely wondering what was up.
The river is incredibly full - the heat is resulting in heavy snowmelt. The gauge is out on the Salmon, but the Sandy where it enters is running 5160 cfs.
