Well not quite yet but we are working on it.

Salmon Spawning

After the earthquake experience, we wandered over to watch the Salmon begin the last activities of their lives. The females dig a small hole in the gravel with their tails and in that hole deposit their eggs. The males who has been chosen by the female deposits his sperm. The eggs are then buried. The salmon then die.

The Earthquake

Chuck and I walked around the nature center up Eagle River. The ranger on duty told us that he had felt an earthquake. We did not feel it. However, shortly after we hear a loud thunder crack above us in the mountain. Chuck thought it was a rock slide. Almost immediately coyotes began to howl.

Sofie and Ainsley Take Me For a Ride

Sofie and Ainsley took me on a bike ride over the creek and through the woods to the lake. Sofie loves the outdoors.

Smoked Salmon

We finished the job. Everyone who has tasted this says it is great.

Smoking Salmon

This morning after we prepared the salmon I put them on the rack and started up the smoker. They should be ready in six hours.

This on the left is the smoker. There are 6 racks full of salmon, a coil, and a pan with alder chips.
