    John Wesley Powell saw this coming in the 1860's. Beyond the 100th Meridian is definitely worth the read.

    Yak ?'s

    Hoping to do a float this week. Is it possible to launch at Ringer again? Is the private take out at Umptanum better than the BLM one? Many thanks.

    School capital bonds and levy rates are based on the assessed value of the properties within the district boundaries you live in. The higher the assessed value the less it costs the tax payer per thousand of the assessed value of their home/property. In other words, in property rich districts...
