It's tight, but quite doable if you keep your speed under control. That's the Selway</div> <div> River below.  Very popular with white water rafters.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="1c880b80.jpg" border=0 width="640" height="440" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> This unfortunate Cessna driver didn't hug the rocks and trees while making his base leg to rwy 1.  Here he is about </div> <div> 100 ft. high and has already used up a lot of runway.  Fortunately for him, rwy 1 is 4,000 ft. long. He used almost</div> <div> all of it before he was able to stop.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="1c980620.jpg" border=0 width="640" height="354" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Doug and I climb out of the Selway River canyon on our way south to Johnson Creek.</div> </td> </tr></table></body>
