T1B39

I saw the salmon run today at Weaver Creek, and that place a bit underneath it though I don't know what that bit was called, and it was so dang far away. The salmon were selected by people who worked in the place, and a ratio of about 3 males to 2 females is consistent. Only the salmon allowed passage into their facilities spawned there, others were either put back in the holding tank or released to spawn naturally. We watched the salmon climbing up the winding thing that mildly resembled a shallow curving river, and there were dying salmon all along the way, too tired to continue swimming, but there were many that did make it to the final mini waterfall. I'll post more on the trip later, because my brain is just BURSTING with facts, but I'll try to keep this short and sweet so it doesn't get boring (although I personally really like the salmon life cycle now that I've learned a little about it).
