Memory Lane, because of the Rain

We are in fall here where I live and that means rain, and wind and changing colors. Well today is a rain day, yesterday was a rain and wind day. Hopefully we will have a sunny day soon. It is time for a trip into the mountains and Tern Lake, Moose Pass drive for fall picture taking.

One of the views from last year on the 13th which was a Sunday, not a Monday:

Here at Tern lake there is a pretty major pullout for RV's and trucks and people to take a gander at the lake and maybe catch sight of a couple of swans. Just prior to the roadside pullout there is a small almost hidden road to the campground/picnic area. It also happens to be where the outhouses are.

At the picnic area is a viewing deck to watch the salmon come into the lake for spawning or to finish spawning. The image above is looking south toward Moose pass, and the one below looking the opposite direction.

The wooden bridge into the picnic area, one of the reasons the area gets few visitors. A lot of people approach it in their RV's and decide to back out and away instead of continuing into the picnic area.

It is a pretty narrow and somewhat rickety looking, but it is stable and strong. This is the outlet or inlet if you prefer for Tern Lake, and the route the salmon take. It is pretty narrow and if timing is right you can see tons of salmon swimming about.

Well that is pretty much it for today, I would like to be there and taking pictures than sitting here and typing words, but maybe one day this week before all the leaves fall.
