Wash Out

This weekend, in search of cool water, we headed back to the wash-out on Icicle Creek.  It is amazing.  While we have yet to see the slide itself, we walked about two miles from the Ida Creek Campground around the wash out, and were able to see Icicle above the slide.  This was a hot weekend, and there was a lot of water pouring down the creek...still not ready for fishing.

But this is a great shot (if I do say so myself) of Icicle Creek over the road.  In other words, the road has become the new stream bed.  

It will be interesting to see how this impacts the fishing, but Sage just loves this spot for wading, and Murph was able to find cold water on a hot day.  They don't call  this creek Icicle for nothing.

It was about 103 ° when we left North Central Washington.  Hot, hot, hot.  But the good news is that there is lots o' water for the girls to swim or wade in.  Still too cold for this old girl, but the pups loved it.

Back on the so-called cooler  west side, where it is now 89 °.  I am thinking ice cream!

Murphy's day.
