Each year a group of gents from Pacific Rim Tonewoods and Taylor Guitars go on a
midsummer outing.  In 2005 it was a 20-mile float down the Chilko River, which flows
out of Chilko Lake and eventually into the Chilcotin River.  There were 25 of us, counting
a guide and shuttle crew of 7.  We ran the river in three 16-foot rafts, one kayak and
one cat.  We camped on the riverbank about 20 miles south of Alexis Creek.
