    I have been to the fish ladders. That water is coming from the Columbia Ice Fields here in Canada, a spectacular sight in themselves. Last summer I travelled the Columbia Ice Field Parkway three times. The ice is swiftly melting, so if you want to witness the sight, you better hurry.

    I used to love to sit by the Columbia and watch it traveling down the banks of the river. I wrote poetry when I sat there. Nothing good, but it inspired me to think beautiful thoughts, even if on paper they weren't so gorgeous:)

    I miss the Columbia. My home now is the Gulf Coast. I am near some other, not so impressive rivers-still lovely, but the Columbia-it's something else!
