You could upload them to flickr.com and then post the link. If you have pictures of what the lower section of the river looked like before the dam flooded it over I would love to see them.

This was before the Oroville Dam was built and was just starting in construction. It was a beautiful river and we were surprised to find that someone else had been in there before us, years before, looking for gold. I never dreamed that anyone would venture down that cascading water back in those days but it looks like there are some very venturesome people these days. I have a small collection of color slides that I took on our climbing in and out of the canyon. And I think I am going to dig them out and think about the old days.

These are some amazing photographs, Robert. We're a bit spoiled living in a region where spots like these are within a day-trip. Nothing short of spectacular!

While it’s a great interview, of concern is the lack of transparency on the secret plans to host the World Extreme Tubing Championships. I failed to mention this in my recent post. Roadhntr commented: “7000 tons of concrete in the river for a few river fairies and you guys are ready to give Litchfield the key to the city.” Well…yeah. Why not. It’s not like we’re giving the guy keys to ben’s Discount Liquor. [...] [...] Myrna’s second interview with Jim is up.
