Early morning solo hike along Breedan Road that crosses Rock Creek. I probably could have driven the road with my Outback if I was cautious but I needed the exercise. It was quite chilly due to the wind and 52 degrees on this 23rd of June so I was glad to have some light gloves, buff and rain jacket along for extra layers. I hit the trail about 6:30 in the morning as I like to do. I love hiking in the barren scablands of Eastern Washington. It is seldom visited except by hunters in the fall. I hiked a total of 8 miles along this seldom dirt lane but never found Perch or Wall Lake. However, I think the mileage in my hiking book must be off a bit. I will look at the area on Google Maps later to see if my turn around spot at a Y was the way to Wall Lake. This would have been a great place to ride my mountain bike instead.
I saw a smattering of bird life; a pair of ravens, western and eastern kingbirds, rough winged swallows, 100's of western meadowlarks, one great blue heron and a western tanager.
I only came across one other vehicle that was parked near the falls along Rock Creek. Two men were fly fishing but left about the time I made it back to my car.
