High water, animals, flowers, and food

Keeping eyes peeled at all times. Piles of elk and deer. Look there's another, we say, elk, no deer, oh it's both. I bought a new salt lick at the feed store after deer were digging in the dirt where Mark had one last year. Yes, a feed store, I think it's the first time I've ever been in one. I don't have horses or a farm or any need for the accessories - except a salt lick. They come in assorted colors too (different minerals) who knew?


We went jeeping up Almont Triangle for the first time this season. So many areas are still not passable, but this had mostly dried up and so pretty. Lots of early flowers out and magnificant vistas.






Let's talk about the high water. Since there was record snows and our area was 243% above normal (no kidding that's not a made up number) the thaw has started and we've never seen it so high. If I were a homeowner with some of those houses close to the river, I'd be just a tad concerned. The next few days will tell the tale of just how high the rivers will go. Roaring Judy even has sand bags out.




These are 9 inch trout at Roaring Judy hatchery waiting to be released. When the water levels come down they'll get their chance to be free..

3 Rivers is back open so in we went for lunch. Great food there...
