If we went, it never crossed his mind that maybe he shouldn't. He just put the hammer down and jumped in with both feet.... and the rest of him too. I wonder if he had the false impression we were watching out for him?
	Between river crossings, we enjoy riding up the huge valley. And after having spent a year in Nome, Let me say, This valley is impressive! I have a whole new love for this place.
The mountains are enormous and the valley wide, and you don't ride far until you find another place you have to try and cross.
	Even though this year the river is down This is a long valley, and the crossings will get worse!
