Salmon Run

We headed up the Coos River to Morgan Creek to the fish hatchery to watch the salmon run.  We got there a few hours after they started the process of catching the salmon and spawning them.  (Not sure if that's the correct terminology but if you know as little as I do about fish then it should be just fine.)  It was a very educational experience as the head honcho was more than happy to explain everything that was going on.  I'll spare you the details but we learned a lot and saw even more.
