Vancouver to Rock Island Fish Camp.


Sunday, July 17, 2016


1-I am on my way to my destination via the scenic route. Less traveled and more scenic than the main freeway.










2-It takes little getting used to when the metric system is used.




3-I made a stop for gas and found some great inexpensive jazz CDs.


Prices are of course per litter. About 1/4th of a gallon.


4- The “service station” was very impressive as to what they had available for sale.







5-More road pictures.





6-On the way I passed by this place and had to make “uee” and see what is all about. I was not disappointed.




















7-These are manmade rest stops for the salmon.





8-There was a visitor center that included a theater showing the life of salmon as well as the ever-present gift shop and a place to eat.








9-After the pit stop at Hell’s Gate, I continued northward.



10-A stop to have some food and stretch my legs.




11-More road pictures. Could not get enough of river scenery.









12-A cow ranch in the distance.



13-Large green pastures as far as eye could see at times.


On the way I encountered some heavy down pour and as well as sunny skies.


14-There were many signs warning about deer and moos crossing. Sure enough I saw a deer.



15-A huge lake on the way.



16-So many lakes that it will take a life time to fish them all. Maybe more.



17-I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel as I get off road to a service road.




18-As I turn to the forestry service road, right away I see a rabbit. I am in the wilderness my friend.





At this point the Garmin was not helpful since the road is service road and not an asphalted (I guess).

I was driving a compact car with low clearance. My cell phone was inoperative in Vancouver and even if it did work, there are no signals here.

As I made several wrong turns and road became full of pot holes with water in them, I got nervous.
If I get stuck in the mud, there is no way I can contact anybody, unless I walk.
I kept back tracking and finally I took the right road and………


19-…..SAW

TO BE CONTINUED….
