The current Baker River Hotshots realize that its outstanding reputation is largely due to the performance of the past crewmembers and their crews. As years pass, the memories and tales of the past Baker River crews can easily get lost. In an effort to preserve the legacy of the Baker River IHC, we have begun a campaign of sorts to track down the crew’s alumni. Because of our current lack of archives, we will rely heavily on the alumni to provide info and photos related to the past crews. It is our goal to get pictures of every Baker River crew that existed up to now. See the past crews photo gallery to follow our progress.

Please hit the link below if you are a past crewmember, and get on our contact list. If you have already done so, please contact your friends who were crewmembers as well, and encourage them to get hold of us. If you currently possess archival information like crew photos, journals, etc., we would love to see them. We appreciate those who have responded already.
