On what US river are they supposedly traveling? I'm thinking it's the Snake River for some reason, I think Gail said this towards the beginning, but I can't remember. Does anyone know?

I think its supposed to be the rogue, but they mention the robbery taking place in Eureka, MT which would make it the kootenai which is where they filmed the finale (going down the falls). it is a little confusing if you know where it was filmed

According to the Filming Locations, the actual rivers are:

Middle Fork of the Flathead River, Kalispell, Montana, USA

Upper Rogue River, Oregon, USA

Kootenai River, Libby, Montana, USA

And, of course, the Charles River in Boston, Mass where Meryl is furiously rowing in the opening scene.

But I just saw this on cable last night and I kind of remember hearing The Snake River mentioned.

I think it might be just an imaginary river, considering it was filmed on three different rivers, none of which were the Snake. :P

She has a "conversation" with her Dad in sign about the Snake river. But I don't recall if that is the actual river they were planning to run.
