More like Bad Trip Down The Salmon River Road

[Rich, et. al. were correct. I just got the story. The wreck did not go down the Middle Fork ( I was struggling to see how also, plus if wrecked below Corn Creek, no reasonable way to get back to ramp). It wrecked on the road to Corn Creek. The boat evidently fell off the trailer, popping the missing pontoon. It was taken back to Blackadar in Salmon, repaired, and reinstalled on the boat. They did launch on the Main. Still, a lot of boat for an oarsman with the flows currently being experienced. It may have been a blessing. The cool weather may have lowered the level some even with the rain we have had. Trips from Corn Creek to Riggins are being made in two days with level at 9 feet on the ramp (35,000+ cfs)
