Carol Davis had the whole family at her home for Thanksgiving, son Bruce and daughter Denise and all their families. Seven stayed overnight for two days. They took in all the town sights (salmon). The Army Corps parking lots were locked Friday and the streets were lined with cars. Visitors to the town were disappointed. The salmon viewing was good but the parking was NOT.
