Yesterday The Rivers Were Ragging Torrents Of Water Threatening Property And Life. But Today They Are Perfect For Visitors And Families Alike.
The Spokane River, which recently made the headlines because of its damaging floods and dangerous water levels, is now the area’s greatest family attraction! Local outfitters, like Pangaea River Rafting, are taking kids and families of all ages down the river, including the section of river through Riverside State Park famously known as the Bowl and Pitcher.
“The Spokane River is the area’s new next best thing,” says David Lawrence, the owner of Pangaea River Rafting. “We’ve been rafting this river for many years, and this year after the rivers went down, we’ve been enjoying the best rafting we’ve had in years!”
Whitewater rafting isn’t for everyone, which is why the Spokane River is for everyone. Rafting companies, like Pangaea River Rafting, offers more than just whitewater. For example, Pangaea River Rafting offers easy scenic floats for the youngest of children or travelers that want to enjoy the beauty of Spokane without getting wet. Pangaea also offers a river wine float down the Spokane, pairing great regional wines with the beauty of Spokane and mouth watering appetizers.
“The Spokane River gets a lot of attention when the waters are high, but it’s a shame the Spokane River doesn’t get the kind of attention it deserves for being a vacation and recreation hotspot for visitors and residents of the area,” says David Lawrence. If your interested in learning more about rafting on the Spokane River, please call Pangaea River Rafting toll free at 1-800-2392-392.
About David Lawrence and Pangaea River Rafting
David Lawrence, a native Virginian, moved to Winthrop, Washington 10 years ago. The English Literature major discovered outdoor recreation, and started pursuing a career in the outdoors. He has worked as a fly fishing instructor, bike mechanic, naturalist and river guide during the summer before becoming the owner of Pangaea River Rafting. During the winter, David learned how to cross country ski and became a professional cross country ski instructor in the Methow Valley. In May, David was selected as the newest member of the Professional Ski Instructors of America’s national Nordic ski team. He and his wife Brooke Lawrence split time between Winthrop, Washington in the winter and Superior, Montana in the summer.

New Public Website For Wildland Fire Restriction Information
As residents and visitors enjoy summer, fire management organizations want the public to easily know what fire restrictions and closures may be in place. A new public web site, www.firerestrictions.org, has been created to communicate wildland fire restriction and closure information for the Northern Rockies during the 2008 wildland fire season. The Northern Rockies includes Montana, Idaho, North Dakota and Northwest South Dakota.
For More Information Contact: Denise Germann, Flathead National Forest 406-758-5252
The public can access the most current information on fire restrictions and what areas may be closed. The user-friendly website is a cooperative effort between the Northern Rockies Coordination Group and the National Center for Landscape Fire Analysis at the University of Montana.
Wildland fire restrictions are implemented in two stages, stage I and stage II, in Montana, Idaho and Northwest South Dakota. The State of North Dakota refers to restrictions as very high and extreme. Weather, moisture in the vegetation, number of human-caused and natural fire starts, firefighting resource availability and other factors are considered to determine if wildland fire restrictions are needed.
Wildland fire restrictions are implemented for a specific geographical area and coordinated by federal, state and county agencies in that area. The website identifies each geographical area by map and written text to assist the public.
The website also includes information detailing the restrictions, identifies sites that may have an exemption from the restrictions, a listing of commonly asked questions and answers, and a link for media information.
The Northern Rockies Coordination Group provides an interagency approach to wildland fire management and all-risk support on all land ownerships within the States of Montana, North Dakota, northern Idaho, and a small portion of South Dakota and Wyoming. The Group is made up of representatives from the Montana Firewarden's Association, Montana Disaster and Emergency Services Division, Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation, Idaho Department of Lands, North Dakota Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Fish and Wildlife Service, Forest Service, Montana Fire Chief's Association, and Montana Sheriff's and Peace Officer's Association.
The purpose of Northern Rockies Coordination Group is to further interagency cooperation, communications, coordination, and to provide interagency fire management direction and all-risk support for the Northern Rockies Geographic Area.
At this time, there are no wildland fire restrictions in effect across the Northern Rockies Area. As weather continues to become warmer and dryer, we urge individuals to be fire safe as they work and recreate outdoors.

July 24 - August 31 Sixth Annual Plein Air Exhibition Opening Reception: August 1st, 5 - 8 p.m.
Featuring: Twenty of the West’s most acclaimed artists
DANA GALLERY SIXTH ANNUAL PAINT OUT, JULY 18-23
The Dana Gallery is hosting the sixth annual Paint Out beginning Friday, July 18th. Painting plein air, literally “in the open air” will be twenty artists from the region . They take the challenge of working in the elements- heat, shifting light, and moving subjects, like horses that turn around just when you’re trying to finish the coloring of light on their manes- for love of capturing a single moment of time in the painting. Plein air artists follow in the footsteps of the French Impressionists from the late 1800s and the early 1900s American artists from the coast and southwest who followed the railroads west, painting scenes that informed the nation of Western grandeur.
The Dana Gallery is proud to continue the tradition of plein air work through sponsoring this annual event. On Sunday, July 20th the painters will be in the Missoula area and the public is invited to watch them at work. The plein air work, as well as studio work from each artist, will hang in the gallery for one month, July 24-August 31st . The show opens with a private reception for sponsors on Wednesday, July 23rd. First Friday, August 1st, features the public opening of the show.
