RUNNING THE WATERWAY – Elizabeth Haagenson transports home a take-out pizza after work one evening. She has joined many other Trout Creek residents in utilizing the Noxon Reservoir for their commutes to and from work. Since the bridge closure on Highway 200, a normal drive of less than 10 miles became a 50-mile trek. Kayaks, boats, Jet Skis and WaveRunners have been main modes of transportation for many and will continue to do so until the bridge reopens.
