July 21, 2013---John Day Dam, Rufus, Oregon


It was very windy all day and not much activity on the river.  I did see one unusual and interesting thing.

On this side of the gorge there are a lot of very rocky cliffs.  I watched an eagle swoop down to the water, catch a fish in its talons, and fly off towards the cliffs.  The eagle’s nest must be over there somewhere.  

On the Rogue River on the central Oregon coast, about 20 years ago, we saw the same thing happen.  It was a thrill then and it was just as thrilling today.

Because of the wind today we stayed inside most of the time.  I did spend some of my time cleaning out the back of the Honda.  That is one of my best storage places.
