There were four regular wooden river boats and one rubber boat. Teague said all of the craft made the run without mishap, but that at the Nehalem Falls it was nec essary to let the boats down by rope. This expedition was led by Gene Hansen of McMinnville and Teague. Others from Stay ton were Marvin Sandberg, Dick Boedigheimer and Bill Gehlen, Fred Graham, Ned Uffelman, Alvin Norblad and Dick Schroeder. The group camped out and did some fish ing on the trip, although the fishing was not too good. The boats were put in just below the first bridge, and they made the run clear to tidewater, about 26 miles. Teague said: “this river is not too well known, and na tives thought we were nuts to try it. Some of the river is real fast and just about like an obstacle course.” Many people never thought of running rivers until the North Santiam White Water Challenge. He said: “Most of the members of the North Santiam River Guides have re ceived their training right on the North Santiam.” The Guides take an active part in the annual Memorial Day Whitewater Challenge.
