a wet spring in the Cascades is just the continuation of a low snowpack winter generated by higher temps continuing to convert precip loaded weather systems into rain instead of snow. We had more rain this winter thru early spring than I've ever seen in the Cascades, when we had a 16" dump of...

just a frayed end nub that projects past the knot..good eyes

met some new friends on the lake yesterday.. :)

NoTricksZone is by an American expatriate living in Germany whose blog is dedicated to promoting skeptical views on mainstream climate science, so no surprise. What happened in the past is irrelevant, we have to deal with the now of 8+ billion folks generating 50 billion tons of CO2 into our...

Here in Central Oregon drought winters always = a more intensive fire season due to a longer dry season. And adds fuel to the ongoing conflict with a beef/hay industry demanding 'their' yearly historical water releases, which quickly lower the levels of lakes and rivers which are currently at...

anyone here target Kokanee flyfishing? Could not keep them off the chromie/red chiron's today up on the volcano lake, most 14" to 16" with a couple of bigger ones. Thinking I'll bring my 4 wt next trip...and a cooler.

Apparently interest in the Seahawks remains soft according to SI. Perplexing considering it's a young team who just won a SB...likely because billionaires buy teams for their ego and owning a Seattle team just doesn't level up enough with the cool factor...

what a wonderfully creative man, and his face says it all, the man glowed with Zen.

Aside from seeing the same grizzly multiple times in the Bob Marshall Wilderness area, the most 'exotic' animal we ever saw was in the Steens mtns during the 90's. We had set up camp in a meadow alongside a stream when late in the day a Wolverine strolled across the meadow with rolling...

Multi-interests keep it fresh as the appeal of some wanes while others increase, so not feeling it just a sign to be doing something else. And it doesn't really matter what we're doing, just as long as we are. A book written in the early 70's by Ram Dass titled "Be Here Now" focused on creating...
