Life according to Jeff, river guide extraordinaire:
“I’m either on the river or hiking the mountains hunting game every single day. I’m either with a client or going for my own pleasure. My time is spent in the most beautiful place anywhere, surrounded by the river, the mountains, fish, game and mother nature. I’ve hiked into areas rarely visited by other people. I’ve seen wildlife most people never see. I have a beater car that runs well and don’t see the point of buying a new one to beat up. My boat is pretty banged up, and I don’t see the point of getting a new one and banging it up either. I drink beer and whiskey with my friends at the local bars, chase the ladies, and hang out with my dog. I don’t make much money, but I’m the richest guy in the world and I wouldn’t trade my life for anything.”
Jeff Weber, River Guide!
Jeff Weber is a 27 year old river guide on the Middle Fork of the Salmon river in central Idaho. He’s been guiding for 6 years and does fishing trips in his drift boat and a jet boat, white water rafting, and guided jet boat scenic trips. He’s gregarious, chatty, very funny, and about as unpretentious a person as I’ve ever met.
What a delight to meet a young philosopher with his “stuff” totally together and happy in his own skin.
