Re: House passes the EXPLORE act

ahhh.... that makes sense

I actually don't mind target shooters if there was a way to not annoy others too much with the noise. Hiking up the Zigzag ridge or the north side of Mt Hood, I frequently hear target shooters.

Don't want to get into an internet battle over guns :)

Re: Red Shorts dies unexpectedly

That is sad, thanks for posting this One thing curious to me is that Petr frequently posted about red shorts doing this or that. Which was sort of odd, why isn't red shorts posting, why does petr post for red shorts? You're saying that red shorts and petr are the same person? Petr (red shorts) poste...

Re: House passes the EXPLORE act

"Requires constructing a target shooting range on every National Forest" that's a weird one I would think the government wouldn't want anything to do with target shooting ranges because it exposes them to liability - if anyone is ever hurt they can blame it on incorrect government action like the se...

Mostly walking along beaches with occasional spots where a trail goes around a head. Bald Eagles. Marine Mammals. Racoons. Off season hardly anyone. There was this guy Gar...

Then I drove to Whiskey Creek, a little easier access to the Rogue than Graves Creek. Abandoned car just before trailhea...

Re: 2022 and Beyond - Snow Levels

I tried to drive to Tucker Flat on the middle to the Rogue River. A bit too much snow for my tastes. On April 9.

I just went to the east end - Graves Creek
