Month: June 2025

Ruby Creek, Mt – Thursday June 19, 2025

Summer is here, at least for a while, it is going to cool off in a couple of days. Decided it was going to be too hot for me to fish today. I have never enjoyed the sun and heat and I’m trying to act my age. Yesterday I had to look for a while to find a place in the shade to eat lunch. Between the mosquitoes and the Salmon Flies I had look for a spot with shade and no bugs. Oh yes, yesterday was the first day of Salmon Flies.

The river is dropping and getting warmer. Here’s the river over the last 30 days.

Over the last week.

Up above the lake just outside the park the river has really warmed up. The river water below the dam comes out of the bottom of the lake so it is still ice cold. We are 30 miles below the dam so water hasn’t heated up above the restricted temperature but it is warm nun the less.

Yesterday I noticed birds starting to build a nest in the coach exhaust pipe

This is hard to see but huge flock of birds flew over head for 10 minutes.

After the flock left this hawk flew around for a while.

Palisades BLM Campground, Mt – Tuesday June 10, 2025

We are going to have some rain today.

We got rain from 6:00 to 6:15.

I went out for a walk today.

At one time this river was much bigger than it is now. I am way above the current river and all these round rock had to be formed by rolling in the river.

The rain is around us.

Just a river picture.

Walked up river and then walked back the road from the boat ramp.

These are some pictures I ripped off the internet of the moon last night above Mt Rainier.

Two pictures are the same, don’t see how to delete it while writing from my phone.

That’s it for today. Tomorrow is laundry day.

Palisades BLM Campground, Mt – Tuesday June 3, 2025

Today was moving day, went to Ennis to dump, water, propane, garbage and groceries. We are back in site 1 at the far end of the campground. After picking up the last tenant’s dog poo I got the TV and internet set up. The first place I put the DISH TV antenna it could not find the satellites.

Jean found a picture of when we were here two weeks ago so I didn’t have search around to find a good location for the TV antenna.

This picture is for future reference on where to place the antennas.
