| Molton Falls |
Started the day by driving to Woodland, WA to see if we could catch up with Tom & Sarah (friends that live next to Havasu plus we've known them from our Tyee days), however, they had already driven back to their home in Lake Oswego. Should have called first!!!

| Lucia Falls |
Since they weren't there and Gary & Flo (other friends from our Tyee days) were busy with errands, I decided we'd drive up to Lake Merwin and home that way.
While driving hwy 503, we saw Lewis River Hatchery & Merwin Hatchery, both of which have no public access. Drats!!! Was hoping to see the baby salmon.
Next stop was Merwin Dam and the lake. It's been 30+ yrs since we've been in this area. It's stunning, to say the least.

| Bobby at Molton Falls |
Approx. 5 miles short of Cougar, we took hwy 503 south towards Amboy, not much in that town! While we were traveling to Battleground, the next town, I noticed a sign to Molton & Lucia falls. So, I turned up that road. Approx 7 miles later, we were at Molton Falls. They were nice but with the lack of water in this area, they were not running to their normal level. In fact, we could see the water is about 10' down. However, they were still pretty.

Then we head back down the road to Lucia Falls (past it on the way up). These were prettier falls but we were not allowed to touch the water. Protected for the wildlife!
Once we were back to the car, headed to Battlegound, where we had lunch at the Silver Dragon, a Chinese restaurant. Finished lunch and then headed home. It was a great day, glad we finally got out and did some sightseeing.
