		<description>Hello:

It&#039;s really no different than your last trip.  Richland can only be reached currently by taking 1203 to 1205 via Hwy 123. 
Best route
Hwy 7 to Hwy 123.  Hwy 123 exit is also called Lurton.  
From here stay on Hwy 123 for about 4 miles till you come to the first major road heading off to the right.  
This will take you through Lurton proper right after the church on the right, the road becomes dirt. 
Stay on this road till the junction with FS 1203.  1203 will come in on the right.  Bear left on 1203.  You should
start seeing signs by the Forest service that Richland Campground is closed. 
After about 4 or 5 miles, 1203 will come to another junction.  Bear right.  You should now be on 1205
 If you go left you will drive down into Bass on 1203
After this junction about 2 miles and you come to Iceledo Gap.  Big downhill, uphill here at the bottom of the hill, bear right.
After climbing back up the long hill, you will drive another 1 or so and come to Dicky Junction.  1205 goes straight.  If you bear left you will go to Eula  Crossing on lower Richland. 
Stay on 1205 for another 4 to 5 miles.  NOTE:  This is the only way in or out.  If a tree falls on the road (and they do often)
you will be trapped till someone with a chainsaw comes in)  I strongly recommend taking a saw or chainsaw just in case. 
As 1205 approaches Richland, you will go through some switchbacks.  The last one will turn to the right and you are at the 
concrete bridge that crosses the creek.  Go on past the bridge, and pull off at the old Campground entrance.  Hike through 
the campground, cross falling water creek and start up the hillside.  You will soon see a trail that runs all the way to Twin Falls. 

Water level in Richland is very low right now and I don&#039;t except to see any change to that this year before leaf off. 
CFS is around and that is really not enough to have any water in the rapids.
