We were able to get out and about this last weekend. We made our way to Eagle Fern Park where we walked over a suspension bridge, dipped our toes into the very cold Eagle Creek, tried our hand at trapping crayfish, and had a great time.

We are new to crawdad trapping and weren't having any luck. Someone we bumped into on the trail suggested we head over to the Clackamas River, which we did. It was getting late so we only left the trap in for 30 minutes. We caught one little crawdad. The kids were ecstatic. Here's a picture of our small haul:
We've since learned that the best way to catch them is to leave the trap out over night. Apparently those little crawdads tend to be more active during that time. I guess that means we'll have to go camping to try again!
