Over the weekend, Mike and I spent a lot of time attempting to hone our water photography skills at various creeks in the area. There is SO MUCH WATER running right now, it's insane. Half the state is under water, and all people seem to be talking about currently is flood, flood. flood. The fact that it's raining a lot probably doesn't help to quell people's nerves. Let's hope it doesn't get as bad as everyone thinks it will be!
Weasel Creek - Elkhorn Mountain Range

We stumbled upon a super cool old dam, made for some great practice!

There used to be a lot of mining in these mountains, and the evidence is still here. We found this old bridge as well as the dam and many old cabins.
Crow Creek Falls - Elkhorn Mountain Range
Crow Creek Falls was a 3.5 mile hike in. We will definitely be revisting this one later in the year, when the water chills out a bit...or a lot. And when there's a little bit more foliage. And when it's not pouring down rain. There were about 5 minutes when it wasn't raining - just enough time to get the cameras out for some quick photos.

And then it was back to Trout Creek for a bit. We were hoping to find the water the same as we left it two weeks ago - crystal clear, but it was not not be here either.
It was great to have a weekend to get out and play with the cameras! I predict more weekends like this in the future.
