Travels with Charlie: Let's respect our special places…

By Gordon Snyder

Charlie and I headed to Pfingst Animal Acres park to wander around and get some sniffs in.

When we’re there, I always head down the path to the McAleer Creek viewing deck. It’s one of those special spots that lets you look and listen to the creek any time of year.

How’s the flow? the turbidity? any spawners? Just a great spot.

But… I see something.

A closer look...

Come on? This is a wonderful unique place to drink a Cup O Joe. Along the creekside with no other distractions.  

You just enjoyed this Special Place. And then just left…………..

This cup will be headed to Lake Washington.

Here’s the start of the cup’s journey marked by arrow.  

The shaded area is McAleer watershed. McAleer creek connects Lake Ballinger to Lake Washington.

Please, Let’s respect our special places… so they stay special.

Please and Cheers,

Gordon Snyder
