320 miles. 20 days. 1 river. This Saturday, June 27, Clark Fork Coalition member Daniel Kiely begins the adventure of a lifetime-- The Clark Fork 320.
Over the course of 20 days, Daniel will float the length of the Clark Fork, from Racetrack near Butte, all the way to Lake Pend Oreille. You can float right alongside Daniel on the Coalition's 320 blog, and witness the hard-working Clark Fork River on the rebound. Or, visit the 320 website to see how you could win the chance to float with Daniel for a day.
