Jim Kerr rescued a guy a few seasons back that actually pulled a Kneivel and launched his car off the side of that bridge. Luckily he made it into the trees on the far bank and Jim happened to float by first thing at dawn and maybe save the guys life.

It's been down to one lane for a while due to work. Glad to see they are getting it fixed. It's kind of a scary bridge. The really bad spots are just north of there at Dowans creek where the road is high above the Bogachiel. That's also down to one lane with an automated light due to washouts...

Sitting here in unincorporated KingCo watching the rain, I was befuddled why the the river behind our place on the OP wasn't showing a nice bump in flows. Cliff Mass showed it in his latest post: https://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2026/09/a-perfect-storm-hits-northwest.html

All the Quilleute rivers including the Bogachiel are a trickle right now - well below the historical mean. I doubt this rain will bring it up much. Sol Duc was shin deep behind my house. Coho are trapped in the Quilleute (now closed) below Leyendecker until we get a lot more rain. Bogey...

Very good: https://nmfa.io/ https://www.nevadaartprinters.com/ Exceptional and expensive: https://www.whitewall.com/us I'm about to order a 40x30" acrylic print in a floating mount from NMFA. Have a very good printer at home but can only do max 17" on the short side.

Yeah, I was running 5.2 with with a dedicated processor running into a preamp, 2 amps, a streamer/server, an SACD player, and a shit ton of cables... Made my wife SO mad every time she tried to watch a movie. Getting rid of the processor and simplifying the TV part of things to a basic Sonos...

Honestly if all you're watching is sports, the TV speakers are probably fine. I'm usually yelling at the TV too loud due to Bama's constant eff-ups the sound is lost on me anyway... If you also enjoy movies, then it'll depend on your set-up. If it's two-channel music oriented, it's not great...

Wandering around Astoria a couple weeks back. The white smears in the background are fishing boat motoring back up. They disappear due to the long exposure (physics/math of this phenomena are interesting...

Great news for the area (and me as I'm just up the hill...). Also - there restoration work they have done downstream of Rainbow Bend seems to be gaining traction. All the new braids have spread out the flows in that area and all the new trees and vegetation is starting to mature a bit. That...

Starlink is a game changer for our house on the OP. I just installed it recently and wish I had done it sooner. Up until then, we had CenturyLink DSL through the phone line with maybe 12MBs when it decided to work, for $120 a month. My shitty Verizon coverage was actually a little faster at 2...

Another long-time Fuji user here. Like Adam, mostly Provia but also Astia. Pretty much exclusively in 120 medium format and 4x5". I still have a very nice Hassy and have been thinking about repurchasing my old Ebony 4x5 field camera but it'd be for negatives. While Provia doesn't seem to be...

Very sorry to hear about Omar. Yuki turned 10yo a couple months back. Hard to imagine what it'll be like without her. She was looking thoughtful the other day when I was testing a new (to me) lens so I grabbed a snap. Yuki Thinking by Thomas Mitchell, on Flickr

This was a couple years ago at our place on the coast. Must have been a migratory group going through as the residents never have more than one at a time. Really gets going around 45sec mark.

Not a hybrid (there is a hybrid but it's a bit more $$) but for a fishing/outdoor-able car meeting the other requirements, Subaru Crosstrek. Super reliable. https://www.motortrend.com/features/is-subaru-crosstrek-reliable-jd-power-dependability

Mouth of the Quileute River Mouth At Low Tide

Great thread and much appreciated. My wife (WA native, with next to no experience in the southeast) just did a solo week-long road trip from Charleston to Nashville investigating communities around bass fishing reservoirs scouting locations in NW South Carolina, NW Georgia, NE Alabama, and...

Lover your jungle. Super jealous. Growing up in semi-rural Alabama, it was impossible for my parents to have hostess. The whitetails would eat them to the ground every time.

Was out this AM looking for landscape shots and saw heron fishing at low tide. After I got my normal shot, threw the 600 on and got a couple of the GBH despite the tough back lighting. The other shot. Heron Fishing At Low Tide

Follow-up... My daughter is in Tucson right now on a birding trip and spotted a Coppery-tailed Trogon at Madera Canyon. Her pics below. I hd no idea they nested in woodpecker holes.
