The Tale of Waketickeh Creek

In long ago times, the water in this creek was full of salmon. One day Transformer slipped on them while crossing and cursed the stream, saying "in the future no salmon will run up here." He put big boulders to block the salmon and removed the gravel they need to spawn. The name in Twana means "no salmon run up." It is the first stream north of Cummings Point on Hood Canal, just north of the Hamma Hamma River in Mason County.

If anyone would like to learn sliding seat rowing, let me know. I have a very stable Alden Ocean double that is very good for teaching novices. Unlike fixed seat rowing, sliding seat rowing uses the big muscle groups - quads, glutes, and back. More efficient than kayaking
