This morning, our good friends Linda and Dale took Barbara and I sight-seeing east of Fruitland, Idaho to Black Canyon Reservoir. Idaho received 110% of normal precipitation this year and with the spring temperatures rising, the snow is melting and the Payette River is running high over the spillway at Black Canyon Dam. After observing the dam and the snow melt running over the spillway, we headed upstream to checkout the reservoir. This is beautiful area with people fishing, paddle-boarding and us sight-seeing and taking photos. This would be a great place to take a picnic lunch. From there we headed back towards Fruitland where we stopped for lunch at a hole-in-the-wall diner. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but the service and the food were excellent. On our way back Linda stopped near an osprey nest and I got out to try my luck at getting some good osprey photos. The osprey didn’t appear to appreciate my presence and kept a close eye on me while I took photos. All-in-all a great day spent with good friends.
