Re: The Ghan - an Australian rail journey of style and comfort
This looks like a fantastic trip and any reason to go by train is good one to me. Wondering if the place names (Adelaide, Alice, Katherine) recall days of too few settler women for the number of men?

Re: Rafting Montana's Clark Fork River
Great pictures! quite different from the Upper Delaware (my only rafting experience). I noticed the old water chute in one picture...what was it used for? It looks a bit like the wooden aqueduct we saw a few years ago in Colorado that moved water along the edge of a canyon to a work site.

Re: Rafting Montana's Clark Fork River
Thanks, PHeymont. It is a beautiful place and mostly a very relaxing float, with enough adrenaline admixed to make it fun! The chute was used by old loggers to get their trees to the river. Easier than dragging them all the way.

Re: Rafting Montana's Clark Fork River
