      Hunter, the clips are exquisite and the thank yous sincere and so personal to those you know and don't know. Can't imagine how many hours you have spent thinking of how you are appreciating each contributor and the time involved in editing and choosing the clips. A magnificent effort by Sarah, yourself and whoever else is involved in these special appreciation moments. The goal is within reach and a tribute to the Yellowstone river will be seen by many. Congratulations! Tricia

      Hey Hunter,
      Congrats on making it the whole way down stream! The footage I've seen so far looks really great, the audio is quite good(I know it's a bit much to record over the roar of the river at times...).
      Looking forward to seeing your newest documentary when it hits the film fest circuit.
      Thanks for what you guys are doing for this majestic river,
      Hunter Mann
