So sorry to hear this but glad everyone is alive.

We are now on level 2 with near by Wannacut lake at level 3. Packing bags and throwing expensive stuff in the back of the pick-up. We will head for higher elevation and hope to see our town/home in the morning. My comment was on Cal Fire sending help to aid a very dry WA state with...

If you have ever fished Chopaka or the lakes to the south like Blue lake you probably have slowed down and gone through the town of Loomis. A quiet little town of about 130 folks who have the Mountain Sheep come right through the streets of town on occasion. Loomis has been on level 3...

pretty Hoaxish

No Polar Bear?

https://iol.co.za/travel/africa/2021-08-24-look-lesotho-ski-resort-welcomes-tourists-as-winter-wonderland-boosts-ailing-tourism-industry/ Have seen a trout adventure or two in these mountains as well.

Do they still use deer butt signs in PA. As I recall they came up with the idea of strategically placing illuminating signs of a deer's butt "flagging" (tail up). This was an alert to other deer that danger was on the horizon. I believe it was moderately successful in reducing the number of...

Fishing a stream for trout when a Summer Steelhead picked up my offering. Needless to say 5X tippet didn't last long but it sure was exciting!

https://www.yahoo.com/news/weather-news/articles/fwp-yellowstone-increase-hoot-owl-172537695.html?fr=yhssrp_catchall Not much left? Personally, it's nice to not see all those drift boats grabbing trout out of normally protected havens. But, yes, the guides, fly shops, grocery stores, etc. are...

Great pics. I just sprained both ankles!:cool:

And then there's Europe: https://phys.org/news/2026-07-western-europe-hottest-june-surge.html Europe is the world's fastest-warming continent, and changes in atmospheric circulation are fueling more frequent and more intense heat waves on the continent.

Okanogan County Fairgrounds now open to evacuees and their animals. It gets closer every day with even hotter weather on the way!

You are absolutely correct. "Anyone" who ignores fireworks bans is an idiot.

"mah rites" folks will stop at nothing, especially fireworks bans!

Rex: Always appreciate your pics, chart, and especially your wildlife/flower run down. As always, thanx for sharing.

Well I am so glad to see most our local folks pissed off at a very few who insisted upon shooting off fireworks despite large-scale advertising efforts. I can't imagine how it would feel to be responsible for evacuations, structural loss, wildlife lost/displaced, habitat lost, and/or homes...

Best 4th ever with fireworks ban and dog staying within eyesight. All quiet on the NCW front!

Addiction to brown trout now somewhat soothed. Thanks for sharing.

Brian: There is no doubt that our State's budget shortfall has affected its efficiency to complete promised tasks as you point out. That said, the Fed's Cuts further hamper any progress to that end. I believe the goal of the Climate Commitment Act was a 95% reduction on those industries that...
