Oregon,

Thanks for the link. It is a little out of date. More of the Trail is complete. The grass is six feet tall in places and I pass a poor sole just after sunrise each morning out there with a weed wacker cutting it down. It does not sound like much of a job unless you go out there and see how many acres he has done and has yet to do. I would hate to be out there when the grass is dry and a fire starts. The railroad traffic often starts fires in the dry season.

I also forgot about the otter. I see them behind the beaver dam on Chenowith Creek at between mile marker 2 and 2.4. Milage and kilometers are painted directly on the side of the pavement.

Have you tasted duck with filberts and huckleberries. If you did, I don't think the squirrels would get as many filberts.
