New Neighbor

 

Something new to the neighborhood--interesting but not necessarily welcome.

Columbia River

Wayne has been in Costa Rica and I traveled to Washington to visit family. Hopefully my sisters will send me some pictures of our Oregon Coast vacation because I forgot to take my camera. Dad, Clair, and I went fishing one day on the Columbia River, very close to the farm. We were unable to catch any fish to keep, but were successful in hooking some small sturgeons. It is only catch and release so we didn't keep any. The water was so smooth that it would have been great water skiing, but Columbia River water is cold--probably because it is released from the bottoms of so many dams.

 

 

 

These unfortunate campers pulled their boat up to their campsite and went peacefully to bed. Over night, the water level dropped so much that their boat was left high and dry. The amount of water released from the dams controls the level--too bad they forgot to check the web site.

 

June, 2010

Since we returned from Brazil, we have had a great time seeing our family both in Virginia and Utah. We were in Salt Lake for the 4th of July. We are now off on separate travels. Wayne is in Costa Rica for two weeks attending the International Congress of Dipterology and Dianne will be in Washington on vacation.
