Vacation - Leaving Redfish and the Fish Hatchery
Before we checked out, there was a good amount of jumping off of rocks and hiding behind trees.
Then we dropped by a fish hatchery, where the state of ID (with some financial support from the Bonneville Power Administration) helps to hatch salmon that that might be able to make it past the hydroelectric damns that blocks and/or chews up fish trying to get back from the Pacific Ocean to spawn (Bonneville operates them and provides a goodly amount of cheap energy to the Pacific Northwest). Ellis loves feeding them because when you threw food to the fish, they started jumping out of the water to get to it. The grown up fish were as big as Ellis -- no exaggeration.
