The 2011 gathering of like-minded folks on the banks of the Lochsa, Clearwater, and Selway Rivers started a bit different. Rain! Really, we had rain for a couple of days and evenings. No big gully washers or anything, but heavy enough, with a bit of thunder, to give pause when standing in a body of water holding a graphite lightning rod. The remainder of the week we enjoyed, as Jack Hise put it, Chamber of Commerce weather.
