The next morning we met the newly elected mayor of Chase at breakfast and then Ann-Marie and Andy headed home.
Leo and I checked out the Hiuihill Creek Flume Trail which follows the route of an 11-mile flume built by the Adams River Lumber Company in 1908 to transport logs from Skamana Lake down to the Adams River. Quite the feat of engineering.
The trail criss-crosses the creek with several bridges
And climbs steeply to a view of a waterfall.
In the distance you can see a reconstruction of the flume.
We found parts of the old flume along the trail.
The trail continued down to the Adams River
Where we ate our lunch and watched more salmon spawn.
