I believe that is a Forest Service cabin at the start of Hell's Canyon.

Evidence of high water in the past. The upstream side of this boulder (left) is polished and the right side is rough.

Although the reservoir was low, the river was obviously high.

I went past Lewiston and Clarkston (no fuel dock), past Hell's Gate (no fuel dock), past Asotin (no fuel). There is no fuel on this giant reservoir. But this picture is about the river starting to get active above Asotin.

By about 10 o'clock I headed back upriver and the water calmed back down to glass.

Right at the Lower Granite dam is a launch and dock. It appeared to be a lonely place and not one where I would want to leave my trailer, although a thief would have a 40 mile drive from anywhere to pilfer through my car.

I had to be careful and make sure that Mom and Dad were the first to return to the nest. Ravens were everywhere waiting for an opportunity. This guy was a few miles away and eating a goose egg.

The sixth had "run away" about a foot, tripped on a twig, and laid still while I took his picture. Mom and Dad were close by and a little irritated.

I returned the next day about noon and found these guys. No shells around and they are all dry and fuzzy. But only five.

The next nest I found because I could hear the goslings peeping. But it looks like I'm a day too early. Each of them had a hole started, but they hadn't pecked through yet.

After seeing the footprints I was surprised to find these eggs. A Canada goose nest.

Here are some interesting footprints. At the bottom, pointing up, are coyote. At the top, pointing down, are bob cat. Maybe they fought and created the hole in the sand.

Walking on the island beach was fun. This two foot by three foot hole was interesting. All of those footprints, and not one human.

This is Kelly Bar, where I "anchored" for the night. It is really the only sand bar on the reservoir. I ran the boat aground and then walked the anchor up on the beach and stomped it into the sand. "We're home."
