The wildlife gates are open and I finally was able to escape from my house. I'm getting stir crazy. I did not tell my spouse I was going hiking, I could not bear to listen to him whine about it. He found out I was going hiking when I sent him a message from the trail head.
I did not want to be too tired today so I did not hike too far. Also it was very hot so I picked a river trail where Patches and I could cool off in the river.
The river is very low. Two miles before the headwaters the river dries up and goes into the ground for 1/4 of a mile before it reemerges where a tributary joins it. I predict that the Skokomish river will dry up completely before the summer is over.

| I think these salamander eggs are doomed, this puddle in a peat bog is going to dry up. |
