Chewelah Creek

Michelle delivers her own baby on I-405 Tuesday night so we headed back to Seattle Wednesday after being there Monday-Tuesday.  Thursday drove to Chewelah for a scheduled visit to Heather.  Drove to Boise today (Friday) to get stuff from Mary's mom's house (moving out) that Mary's brother is bringing in a trailer to Boise and then to bring back to the girls.  Driving back to Chewelah Saturday with the furniture and other items, then home after church Sunday.

However, even with all that driving managed to find time to fish with Heather and Simon this morning before leaving Chewelah.  Spent about an hour fishing on Chewelah Creek near their home and managed to find two browns and two rainbows.

Heather & Simon with the first Brown

Both Heather and Simon decided to try swimming in waders on the way back to the van.  Discovered a quick way to get cold and wet even on a warm day.  Also discovered that just because a creek is ankle to shin deep most of the way doesn't mean there isn't a seven foot deep hole somewhere in it around a beaver dam!

Found some Rainbows too

Pretty creek and needs a lot more exploring which I hope to do next weekend with Rick & Tom to celebrate their birthdays.
