Has Chris Dearing finally broken his family's run of bad luck? Find out in this hilarious, high-stakes companion to Mine!

With the help of some friends, he's reclaimed his granddad's old land in Dawson City, Yukon, and is adjusting to life with his new foster parents. While he waits for his dad to get out of jail -- and get sober -- Chris turns his attention to his next challenge: finding the gold that he knows is somewhere on his family's claim. What's standing in his way? A few things: a) he doesn't know a thing about gold mining, and it turns out there's a lot more to it than a pan in a creek; b) Lucy, the attack goose guarding the local junkyard; c) the fact that Family Services keeps getting in the way; d) two Filthy Rats trying to swindle Chris's dad out of the gold; oh, and last but not least, e) the rumours that Chris's grandfather didn't actually find his gold -- he stole it. The stakes are high and the hijinks even higher in this touching, witty companion to Mine!

Up Fanno Creek chronicles the life and near-death of a small, urban stream in Portland, Oregon. “Drano Creek,”nearby neighbors once called it, and on hot summer days in the late 1960s you could sometimes smell it before you could see it. The once flourishing waterway was so filled with sewage, agricultural waste, and industrial pollutants that it was on the verge of extinction. It also posed a health risk so serious that it helped shut down all residential and commercial development in its area for almost a year. Like other urban streams around the country, Fanno Creek was temporarily saved from almost certain destruction by the passage of the Clean Water Act in 1972. Thanks to that law and the efforts of a growing army of wetland advocates, the creek has recovered significantly from the abuses of more than a century of mostly unchecked or poorly regulated land-use practices. Point-source pollution, once thought to pose the greatest threat to the creek’s biological survival, is now largely under control. But the long term outlook for Fanno Creek’s existence is anything but rosy, as Eric Lindstrom quickly learned when he set out to discover his personal Watershed Address. Up Fanno Creek tells his story as well, and in the process shows what it means to become a wetlands advocate—accidentally or not.
