we took a little vacation we went up to the johnday river
to do some fishing. our trip start out slow Hwy 84 was closed
and we set if traffic for 2 & half hours then after we got through that got about 10miles down the road the tire on the boat trailer blew and riped the fender half off. I got it fixed and put the spare on and got back on the road. got to the river about dark and didn't get much done. next day headed back to town to buy 2 new tires for the trailer. got back and put the bout in and headed up the river for some fishing it was good to be on the water !!
we caught a few but nothing big. the next day we did some bank fishing and caught about 25 and then took a break LOL
A couple days later we ran back up the river and then out into the Columbia river and over to the Washington side side it was all good till the boat stared to cut out that is when I realized I should have checked the gas yes we where out
now I am stuck in the middle of the Columbia with no gas and one paddle I got the attention of another boat and got towed in.
the rest of the trip was uneventful until a couple day be for we left me anchor line Broke in the night and ran up to the rocks
luckily it did no damage but lost the anchor. by this time the wind was to the point I did know if I could make it to the boat ramp to get the boat out of the water let me tell you to was an interesting ride but made it. all in all it was good to spend time With the family and can't wait to go back next year. and yes the trip home was uneventful.
