I'm sure glad we took the camera. Cindy and I took Kady for a run. We are below the Priest Rapids Dam. This is the last free flowing stretch of the Columbia River in the state of Washington. This gravel bar is generally covered with water. Why today and why we took the camera. Yesterday Annette and Cindy went down and the bar was an island and it had a number of pelicans. We decided to take the camera to get a shot or two. No island, but here came a donkey dick. Seriously that's what they are called. We have had a fire over the ridge and here they came to get water to fight the fire. for once we were at the right spot at the right time. Quite an experience to see them come in, squat and load 1500 gallons of water in about 3 or 4 minutes. Very impressive. We've lived here 16 years and I have never been down to this spot when the river was this low. I might take the pole next time.
