This picture shows the North Santiam River. You see some people fishing for trout.
This river has runs of steelhead and salmon. I caught my first steelhead in this river. It weighed over 15 pounds, a heavy steelhead.
The waters and rivers in China are not like this river. They are muddy and not clear at all. Salem gets it water from a station from this river about 3 miles upstream where this picture was taken.
There is an island where Salem gets its water.
I finished Fire Season. It is a good book as the author goes through the summer months, but digresses throughout the chapters to interesting topics. I highly recommend this book.
I have delayed my trip to China by one week. Instead of leaving next week, I am leaving on June 22. I need to delay my trip in order to get the long poem finished and put on the Kindle page. I will get it done next week.
I am making a cranberry pie. I used to make these pies around Thanksgiving when fresh cranberries are available. But I found two packages of frozen cranberries in the freezer so I made one now.
Have a good week and great weekend that is coming.
Steve
