We visited this site back in about 2011 when they were working on Site A. I was with my family on a multi-day rafting trip down the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. I highly recommend making this trip if you are interested in quiet river stretches, sandy campsites on scattered sand bars, raging rapids up to Class V with the right flow conditions, geology, scenery that is beautiful, skies that are clear and great for stargazing, etc. We took a trip with a rafting guide out of Riggins, ID who has been running the river since the late 1970's I think. It was my third trip with him as guide and each as memorable as the last. He has always been active with the local tribes attempting to return fish to the river and on issues concerning access to and use of the river. On this trip we stopped at the archaeological dig and had a tour led by the professor in charge of the field work. There were students digging and sifting and we were able to see example artifacts that they found. We heard the history of the area and some of the things that they had already determined about the age of the occupation and use. It was a great stop and we each got a bandana as a gift. The professor also leads a dig in Texas, the Gault site, I think where they have similar preClovis dates for that initial occupation. I grew up in that part of Texas and my family has deep roots there in the area.
