FISH HATCHERY

We decided to go to the trout hatchery in the Tonto National Forest. On the way up the road, we saw smoke.

We wondered if we'd be able to continue up the road, but a firegal stopped us and said it was okay. The fires were started by lightning five days before and 389 acres had burned. It was contained, but they were watching it. We finally arrived at the hatchery.

We couldn't help but chuckle at the name of the toilets.

It was kind of a pretty place with a small stream running down the hill.

I was pleased to see some sweet peas growing along the fence. My mother got some seeds when she was in Salt Lake City many years ago. She planted them every year, saving the seeds each year. A good memory triggered!
