Bob,
it sure isn't that big of a river, as the picture looks it seems more like a creek.
Keith

Bob, those draws and trees behind you on that creek in #6 look like the terrain we used to hunt with Dad. But that was in the northern Blues in non-ranching sections up near Tollgate. I figure Ms. Wagner would want to be close to a municpal airport - likely in Pendleton. And a website search reveals she can see Mt. Hood from near her ranch (guess I'm into these mystery solving contests, eh?). So I'm going to guess it's the N.F. John Day, or the tributary of it right there called Camas Cr.

Steve

Hmmmm ... You can see Hood? Next half-tip ... gonna be hard to see Hood from here. Perhaps she sold the land in this valley and bought elsewhere now. Go east!

My guesses (Part II)...
1)Tillamook Bay
2)Kalama River
3)Mouth of the Lewis
4)SF Calawah
5)Reiter on the Sky
6)Crooked River

RT-
You must have looked at the same website that I did but the one that I saw said that you could see Mt. Hood from her Washington Ranch so given the scenary my best guess was the Klickitat.

I was thinking the John Day because its one river system west of the Deschutes and well it kinda matched the scenary of the high elevation John Day but this creek just seemed too small but I thought hey why not but since you got to the John Day before I did Im going to take Crooked Creek which is a high elavation trib of the Deschutes.

or maybe the Wallowa? Now Im just pulling names out of thin air in hopes I get lucky.

1)Tillamook Bay
2)Kalama River
3)Mouth of the Lewis River
4)Calawah
5)Skykomish
6)Lostine River

Bob...any connection to Ted Ball, Lindsey's step-father?

Powder R.

Probably not far from Sumpter.

In case the Powder R. is wrong, I don't want to use up another spinner for another clue, so ... I then guess on up the xxxxx R.

Edit: Reading this today, I think this isn't fair to use a second guess before the next clue, so I will x it out until then.

RT

Nope, no relation to Ted, otherwise I woulda found some way to get a extra spot in one of those cool bionic man / woman shows of my grade-school years

Next hint, I'm within 10 air miles of Idaho We'll just take one spinner away now, nine left!!

Comes down to a coin toss. Mine came up Imnaha R.

Steve

Damn, RT took my guess. I guess I'll have to go with the Powder River. I think RT got it though...

What happened to this thing were following? Did someone get the answer or are we waiting for the next clue? Can we enter late?
SdB

Okay ... all six have been corectly identified by someone, somewhere in the thread. Now, the first person to post - this is a rule, RT - all six of the correct river names .. wins nine spinners!

My revised attempt:

1 - Tillamook Bay
2 - Sol Duc River (hatchery to Maxfield?)
3 - Columbia River (fished mouth of the Lewis, St. Helens OR in background)
4 - Calawah River (Hell's half mile?)
5 - Reiter on the Sky
6 - Imnaha river

Here yah go Bob. get the spinners ready to ship out!!!

1)Tillamook Bay
2)Kalama River
3)Mouth of the Lewis River
4)SF Calawah River
5)Reiter on the Skykomish River
6)Powder River

I know RT guessed the powder river in his previous post but his final guess was something diferent.

HOPE I WIN!!!
