Bonneville Dam

Got lots of dam photos.

Bwahahaha waited awhile to say that.

Anyway, it was a cool adventure.

 They had concerns about the salmon swimming upstream

so they built ladders for the fish and lamprey eels

to get through in order to return to their spawning grounds.

 No fish to be seen yet.

 And lamprey eels need to get back to their

spawning grounds as well.

 They had an underground viewing area where you

could actually see the eels and fish.

 The photos do not show how fast that current is.

I found that on the way back to the spawning grounds

neither one of them eat.

 The eels latched onto the window and in my

humble opinion did it to take a break from the current

and rest a bit before moving on.

 Once they get to their spawning grounds they lay their eggs

and die.

And a fisher bird looking for some food.

Did you know there are 10,000 islands in the Everglades

And we are going to explore each and every one of them this weekend on our new boat. 

Its going to be a beautiful weekend in the Everglades and I can't wait as I realized that I miss boating. It will be a bit different in this boat as we will be doing jaunts rather than excursions. Currently, the RV is being packed for our little getaway and as usual I will overpack. Clothes and Food -

 because I have always packed like we're going on that 3 hour cruise - 

This little craft will add another dimension to our trips; a water adventure in addition to our camping adventures - especially when we head to the keys. The Mister likes to fish and I like to read and take pictures. It's also small enough to run aground and check out the islands up close and personal. 

I do need to take sunscreen precautions or I will go up in flames.

Stay tuned for our up-to-date adventures.
