Troublesome Creek, Index, Washington

For many years, it was a tradition to camp with the whole Holmquist side of the family at the Troublesome Creek Campround outside of Index. It wasn't possible this summer, but we managed to drive up and have a picnic and enjoy the river for a few hours the week before Carley's wedding. The weather was gourgeous and it was great to hear the roar of the flowing water of Troublesome Creek and the North Fork of the Skykomish River again.

Uncle Ron in flight as he positions for a cannon ball drop from the cliffs of the favorite swimming hole. The water is freezing here and I have yet to build enough courage to jump into this one!

A favorite view looking up the river.

It wouldn't be a trip to Troublesome Creek if there aren't any rock sculptures being made! This is the work of Aunt Maren and Uncle Ron!
