Chinook salmon spawning in the Stamp river, this fish is about 30 lbs and 3 feet long!

Wow...ok, this is just slightly bigger than ANY of the salmon I've seen coming up Finlayson. Kinda reminds me of the year this CRAZY fool I knew jumped into the FREEZING river!! Cant wait to come home in mid - november, even if its rainy and cold. California is magical right now...misty mornings, clear blue skies and 80 degrees, followed by stunning red sunsets over the rolling hills. ps. love the pic from capris (the blue is AMAZING) ~ M

In a set of bizzare coincidences, I have been in my past, a crazy fool who jumped into the river in winter by Goldstream...accompanied by a Michelle. Hmmm....

Coincidence??? I think yes. Almost as good as when a friend from The Empress (I was the Spa Director there) emailed me one of your pictures and the link to the website. Imagine my suprise! Hope you're well. Thanks for keeping me connected to the BC coast.

I don't know what I enjoyed more--the incredible photograph or the coincidental connection between Michelle & Rick...

Well, you may then enjoy the rest. It was in fact a real connection and we had a great time hiking on the Island in November. How small the world is!

Thanks for the comments.
