Acknowledgments

There are two words that this television outdoor reporter never—ever—wants to hear while working at some lonely outpost in the Oregon outback. I have learned the hard way that the two simple words usually portend something bad is about to derail my well-laid plans for the day and the words go like this: “Oh-ohhhhh.” Let me give you an example: not so many decades ago, longtime outdoor photographer Mike Rosborough and I made the arduous trek to distant Southeast Oregon, not far from Jordan Valley, to join a 5-day rafting expedition down the Owyhee River. The Owyhee River runs through a corner of the state known as “I-O-N” country because of its close proximity to the state borders of Idaho, Oregon, and Nevada, which mesh together in a vastness covering more than 10,000 square miles.
