By the time he was 15, Merl was expertly running boats down the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. Growing up in that environment taught many life lessons - not least of which was how to work hard and get things done. Those lessons invariably followed Merl into his adult life and business. Listen-in and hear some tales of life and learning gained from experience in Idaho's back-country. Skills and values associated with hard work are learned in youth.
