Thanks, Ready2Go! The photo doesn't do justice to the size and scale of the place, but it is a lovely setting. I never thought about the sky as a rose window, but why not?

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.

I was enjoying the photos - until I saw the upturned boat ! I think I'll pass until I get a waterproof watch !

Re: Grand Forks Air Force Base, North Dakota (Where Gumbo Was #231)
First time I saw a B52 it appeared from inside a cloud and flew at low level up the River Mersey. It was so big you'd think it was just hanging in the air.. stationary. But the beat of those massive engines was enough to remind you that this was a spectacle to behold.

Re: Grand Forks Air Force Base, North Dakota (Where Gumbo Was #231)
It is amazing that a plane as large and heavy as the B52 can get off the ground! They have a much more limited job now that the precise weaponry of cruise missiles and drones and the like have been developed.

They have certainly improved the static displays since I was stationed there in the mid 80’s. I actually worked on the B-25 when it was being prepped for display. Looks very nice now.
