The giant falls flow through a large rocky area acting like a giant fish trap (the meaning of Li) and it can drown anyone who navigate the falls to be a ghost (or Phi). At one corner of the falls, you will be able to spot the real li or a fish trap

Workers remove sediment from the trap, instead of having to follow it down the lake. The main idea with the sediment trap's design was for it to act as a sump, so materials would fall into the deep hole. There are some people who cannot access docks

Getting Small at Winter Fishtrap
Turn on your senses and imagine these scenes:
Snow covered mountains that envelop a small valley, icicles as big as ski’s, the gurgle of a steam, an ice covered lake, woodpeckers pecking, people strumming ukuleles, and the buzz of many voices.
Those were some of the sights and sounds I experienced, as a participant and presenter, last weekend, at a writing retreat called Fishtrap . Fishtrap is an organization that promotes “clear thinking and good writing in and about the West.”
The Setting . . .The folks at Fishtrap chartered a bus that took us from Portland to Wallowa Lake, where the retreat was held. The lake is near the Northeastern Oregon/Idaho border, outside the small town of Joseph, Oregon. The bus ride was so much fun! I connected with fellow writers before the retreat started, learned how to play a ukulele, and stared at the jaw-dropping scenery. We passed ice covered trees and rocks as the bus slowly wound it’s way through the Columbia River Gorge. As the bus made it’s way out of the Gorge and toward Fossil and Pendleton I noticed an immense contrast. The landscape looked harsh, dry, and resembled a high desert, whereas the Columbia River Gorge is lush, wet, and green.
When we finally got off the bus, we were confronted with cool, crisp air, and a beautiful sunset that cast a golden light on the mountains. The snow on the ground was light and made crunching sounds as we walked toward the Wallowa Lake Lodge. The lodge was incredible. It was built in 1923 and it’s surrounded by mountains, huge Ponderosa pines, and cute cabins near the water. Calling the area beautiful doesn’t do it justice. The setting is majestic and quiet.
The Theme – Getting SmallGetting Small was the theme of Winter Fishtrap event. The basic idea centered around writing and talking about “what it means to live smaller and more sustainably in a world mostly hell bent on bigger, faster, better.”
The Speakers . . .There were about 80 attendees at the writing retreat. It was an honor to meet so many awe-inspiring writers and to speak along side these folks:
