Visited the folks at the homestead a couple of weeks ago and took this. I Grew up here the river. This is about 100’ down the hill from the house. Spent a lot of time fishing here. In the summers, I would sometimes just spend the night down there fishing, cooking out. Nothing like fresh Channel Cat from the line straight to the skillet.
We’d also put in our canoe upstream several miles and spend a day or two floating down fishing as we’d go. Kind of sucked hauling the canoe back up the hill when we hit home but, was always worth it. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1698463771.jpg |
Nice territory!
Rivers are always relaxing or invigorating, time spent seeing the rage of a spring melt off as well as minimal levels of late summer flows shows they are a living changing force. I never get enough! My best friend lives on Jim Creek, it feeds the Stillaguamish then the Salish sea. His 7 acres has the river cutting through it, so it's a constant focal point. This years run of Pink Salmon has been epic, most I've seen in at least 30 years, lots of Eagles and other Raptors enjoying the bounty- his place is far up enough that you see spawning happening. The last couple weeks transitioned from full of life to very stinky with lots of rotting going on... the forests are getting a great fertilizing this year. Then, there's Steve's dog Milo- he loves the river and sticks pretty equally, combine the two and it's the best day ever! http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1698509161.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1698509161.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1698509161.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1698509161.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1698509161.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1698509161.jpg |

Soybeans were a really dusty harvest this year in my part of Maryland. This picture is a friend of mine's Fortress of Solitude. We kayak a lot together on the Potomac and he and his son are excellent surfers. Van is a custom 4x4 that is really well sorted. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1698585112.jpg |

Always enjoy seeing visits back home and with the folks. They say time travel isn't possible. Obviously they are wrong.

It's been dry here and the cloud of dust completely obscures the combine. The "huge hopper" is a "transfer wagon." They usually have two giant rubber tires or rubber tracks. When a semi can't get into the field (because the ground is too wet or soft) the transfer wagon is towed along beside the combine while the combine empties its hopper into the transfer wagon. The wagon then takes the load to the edge of the field where the semi is usually waiting while the combine fills it's hopper again. The big farmers around here run the combines from early morning till 10PM or so. . |

Temps are dipping below freezing, daytime made it to 50 and lots of sunshine-
Time to go explore a lake I've not dropped a boat in yet. Lake Shannon. Impounded by an early hydroelectric dam, said to be the largest one on the West coast... in 1925. Now one of the smallest hydro dams from that era. It has land locked Kokanee Salmon and some decent trout- kind of an overlooked jewel. Low water currently, the gravel boat launch is usable at most any level... lot's of tree tops sticking out to keep it interesting. My buddy Steve and I had the whole 7+ mile reservoir to ourselves, even found a nice sandy beach to use for lunch and a beer. Day use only, the only improvement would be a few boat in campsites. Nice views of Mt Baker and Shuksan here and there- some places both. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1698809258.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1698809258.jpg My long time buddy Steve, now sporting a new titanium right knee- working well! http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1698809258.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1698809258.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1698809258.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1698809258.jpg Mt Shuksan http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1698809258.jpg Several of these man made Osprey nests are attached to the taller trees... only saw one Osprey, but the ones we got close to seemed full of nesting material http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1698809258.jpg Technically not my photo, one that Steve took http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1698809258.jpg |
