The Lower Salmon River from Vinegar Creek to the confluence with the Snake River features 112 miles of Class II-IV whitewater in one of the deepest canyons in the United States. Much of the 53 miles of the river, from White Bird downstream to the confluence of the Snake and Salmon Rivers, is roadless and accessible only by boat. The Lower Salmon is a suitable river for future Wild and Scenic River designation. The BLM recreation sites with provide access to the Lower Salmon are Island Bar, Lucile, Old Lucile, Shorts Bar, Slate Creek, Skookumchuck, White Bird, Hammer Creek and Pine Bar. Be sure to check those sites for more information and amenities for boat ramps or camping. For river maps, authorized outfitters and shuttle services, visit www.blm.gov/visit/lower-salmon-river.

Basildon Park
Basildon Park estate was bought by Francis Sykes in 1771.
Sykes had made his fortune in the East India Company and required a home befitting his status. He demolished the original house and employed architect John Carr to build the mansion, which still survives.
The Sykes family owned the house until 1838.
The Morrison family owned Basildon Park from 1838 to 1928. It was originally bought by Liberal MP James Morrison who passed it to his eldest son Charles. On his death, it was inherited by his sister Ellen, who died just seven months later, leaving it to her nephew, Major James Archibald Morrison.
The estate was requisitioned during the Second World War. It served several purposes, including being used by the 101st Airborne Division of the American Army for D-Day training and later as a prisoner-of-war camp for German and Italian soldiers. This was all vital to the war effort but inevitably resulted in severe damage to the house and estate.
In 1952, Lord and Lady Iliffe bought the semi-ruined Basildon Park.
The couple set about sensitively restoring the house to its former glory, adding modern comforts such as central heating, a contemporary kitchen, and bathrooms.
They restored the elegant interior and scoured the country, searching for 18th-century architectural fixtures and fittings to fill their comfortable new home.
The fine paintings, fabrics and furniture they bought can still be enjoyed by visitors today.
The house and gardens have been featured in several Film and TV drama productions, including Pride and Prejudice, Bridgerton, Downtown Abbey, The Gentlemen and The Crown.
Lord and Lady Iliffe gifted the house and 400 acres of parkland to the National Trust in 1978.

Wain Wath Force is a waterfall situated on the River Swale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, North Yorkshire, England. Despite its modest height it is popular with visitors, the Coast to Coast long distance footpath passes the falls on the north bank of the River Swale while the main motor road up Upper Swaledale passes on the south bank.

Ross Lower School held an exciting pep rally in the Field House on March 5 as part of their Spirit Week festivities. Teachers Nick Behrens and Mr. Chris led the students through several invigorating cheers. On this day, students were allowed to wear anything they wanted as long as it matched School colors.
The water flow was very low here, as it usually is this time of year. But this is still a lovely waterfall.
