Just pay your $ 500 trespass fee or whatever the hell it is and you can. Will not be much to go back to if Weyerhauser gets done cutting every stick of timber off there and either shipping the raw logs to Asia, or chipping it up. Their goal is to strip those lands and then sell them off.

here's what I'd rather be doing (fits in with the "other hobbies" thread in which I have yet to post)

It's really beautiful all down the Salt Lake valley! I've got the give the Utah's credit! It's the cleanest state I've ever been through! It even beats Hawaii, and that's saying something.
It must have been very cool to grow up in that area! I'll bet it's changed enormously!

I am headed back to Southern Oregon this week, on business, but I always take the opportunity to take pictures! Here's one from last summer:

Wolf eel or Monkey Face? I've caught a couple of, didn't know at the time, monkey face eels of the jetty. Hope you're eating that one, some of the best, most delicate, buttery texture fish EVER!

Wolfie. Great battle and, yes, good eater. I won't keep another though, just not enough meat to make them worth keeping IMO.

My old friend had been diving for years(high school). Neah bay port Angeles and all points in between.
Saw this beast and decided to put the spear thru it.
Now this is a guy who has been drug test a sealion
and seen huge whales just past arms reach
The wolf eel wraps around his arm and spear. It's about 6ft long. He is pushing it to the bottom and it is crushing rocks

Finally slows it down long enough to put his stringer thru it's head.
20 seconds later it is ready to eat him again

Well he gets hold of its head and it is like a snake,it can turn its head just behind its jaws.
He gets to the surface and yells. His buddy knows it's bad if this guy asks for help.
So they get it into the boat and kill it.
Everyone lives

I believe it. I ran my gaff through the lower jaw and it curled up just like one of my boas. I stuffed it through a hatch in my kayak, let it keep the gaff and the jig I caught it on.

Just briefly, had lunch there on the way down, but probably not even a mile off the freeway! Seemed ok to me, not littered up at least.

That looks like the beach at Pacific City? We stayed there last year for a couple of day and had fine time.

My wife's family has had a few reunions there at Pacific City ... It is a beautiful area.
Not to forget to mention the brewery nearby , good food and good beer!

PC's turned into quite a popular place. Been fishing there from my kayak for years. Paddle out at sunrise, catch a limit and land on the beach around Noon. Stroll into Pelican for a sandwich and be home before my wife is even off work.
