Marsh Creek
 

I was skating the crust at Marsh Creek meadow this morning. Marsh Creek
is the headwaters of the Middle Fork of the Salmon River in central
Idaho. The Sawtooth Mountains are in the background and my skiing
companion is in the foreground. In the the summer Marsh Creek holds
spawning native (non-hatchery) Chinook salmon. Unfortunately, non-native
brook trout ruin this otherwise ideal spawning water.

Apparently, Idaho is one ugly place. :-)

Nice pic, thanks again for feeding my cabin (library) fever.

Some parts are. Some aren't.

Is that a border collie in the foreground?

Yes, but it's not just any Border Collie. It's my Border Collie, Bee,
whose grandfather was Ben, a British sheepherding champion. Bee has
every characteristic of her grandfather. She can herd both sheep and
cows like you would not believe your eyes. The horses and mules pretty
much ignore her.

Anyway, she's an excellent skiing companion. She's tireless at six years
old. She loves to go fishing, too. She just watches, intensely.

While we are on the subject of dogs.....

This is my English Shepherd, Fleece. Everybody thinks he is a border
collie because the two breeds begin from the same lineage. He has been
fishing with me and working with me in the woods all of his 7 years.
Still acts like a pup.

I didn't think goats would play that game. What have you seen?

My border collie has never seen goats, except from the car. My educated
guess is that given the chance she'd be on their case and that they'd
fold like a cheap suit.
