Living

with Jim and Gayle

October, 2026

Salmon season was tough this year.  The salmon run was low.  We only caught 9 adult salmon of which we could only keep 6 because of the restriction limiting us to hatchery fish.

In contrast, we caught a record number of sturgeon, 23.  They can't be kept, they waste time and often break gear.


It got cold towards the end of the season.


Fishing


I harvested the last of my garden and pickled the jalapenos.


After fishing, we came home for a week and closed the house up for the winter.  We then headed south.
The drive along the Columbia River was beautiful.


Bo enjoyed his rest area stops.


  Bo is such a good traveler, curling up in his bed in the back seat.


The drive to La Quinta, CA was long and boring.  We were glad to get to our winter home.
