Not to be missed, the WRRR Poker run is one of the club’s most popular events. The Skagit River is one of the few rivers still running late in the summer, the run is rated easy class 2-3 at most levels. Other activities include camping and a potluck dinner in the North Cascades National Park. Bring the family. There are usually groups running the river on Friday and Sunday also. Contact any board member for more information or check out the YahooGroup (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wrrr) Trip Leaders: Contact Bill Yager, David Elliott or any other board member for more information. Volunteers needed: Anyone interested in helping with this event by running a river station please contact any board member. Poker Run Details: Poker Run registration is from 9:30 AM to noon on Saturday at the boat launch in Goodell Creek Campground. The station dealers launch about 10-10:30, don’t launch before them or you will miss your next cards. Last boats launch by noon. Cost is $5 per poker hand, you may buy/play as many hands as you want until we run out of cards. To play this game of skill you get your first card at the put-in and your next 4 cards are drawn at river “dealers” that you must eddy out for. If you miss the station you have to play a card short. Boaters with class 2-3 ability should have no problem. We will compare poker hands after dinner about 7 PM at the group camp, you will want to be there when we start because top prizes go first to the highest hand present. Pick the cash prize or river gear then subsequent highest hands choose prizes. There is a prize for the lowest hand also. Camping: Free camping for members from Friday noon to Sunday noon at the Lower Goodell Group Camp. We have both upper and lower loops. There are individual sites in the lower loop and a big open space for lots of rigs in the upper loop. The camp is on the north side of Hwy 20 along the west side of Goodell Creek. To find the camp look for an unmarked dirt road under the power lines on the north side (left as you head east) of Hwy 20 just after you pass the main campground, about 1 mile west of Newhalem. The dirt road is just west of the bridge where the highway crosses Goodell Creek. Camping for non-members is $10. The park service requests we secure food/coolers inside vehicles when camp is unattended due to wild animals. All food must be stored in sealed containers until use, violators subject to fine. Overflow camping: This year we have reserved the Upper Goodell Group Camp for Friday noon to Sunday noon in case the Lower Goodell site fills up like it has in past years. Or people may find more privacy at the Upper Goodell site. The Upper camp is located on the other side of the creek from the Lower site, access road from the highway just east of Goodell Creek. WRRR group activities will still be held at the Lower site around the large fire pit. Food: Potluck dinner on Saturday at the group camp about 6:30 PM. Bring your favorite side dish, main dish or dessert. WRRR will provide plates, forks, etc. WRRR will be providing Dutch oven BBQ chicken! 3 The Monthly Newsletter of WASHINGTON RECREATIONAL RIVER RUNNERS Park ‘N Huck By Brian Vogt It's been a great spring run-off here in Washington, and we hadn't been able to get out for much of it at all. That all changed on a hot summer day in late June with a day of random action. On the way home from the Cle Elum drainage, we pulled off near Lake Kachess to scout Box Canyon Creek’s highlight drop, Off-Ramp. Off-Ramp is an impressive falls. It’s at least 30 feet high, rocky, and has a technical entrance. We expected the creek to be too low, but found enough water for a little park ‘n huck. Fish took one look at Off-Ramp and went racing for the boat. Above: Scott scouts the entrance to Off-Ramp Left: Scott ponders his fate while briefly stalling on a shallow shelf above Limp Wrist Falls 4 The Monthly Newsletter of WASHINGTON RECREATIONAL RIVER RUNNERS Scott runs Off-Ramp, ending a pirouette His first lap was one of the most amazing things I've seen an IK do. Coming off the second of the two tiers of sliding bedrock, the boat started to roll.

  • Reports of the Great California Earthquake of 1857
    REPORTS OF THE GREAT CALIFORNIA EARTHQUAKE OF 1857 REPRINTED AND EDITED WITH EXPLANATORY NOTES VERSION 1.01 DUNCAN CARR AGNEW INSTITUTE OF GEOPHYSICS AND PLANETARY PHYSICS SCRIPPS INSTITUTION OF OCEANOGRAPHY UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LA JOLLA CALIFORNIA 2006 Abstract This publication reprints 77 primary accounts that describe the effects of the “Fort Tejon” earthquake of January 9, 1857, which was caused by the rupture of the San Andreas Fault from Parkfield to San Bernardino. These accounts include 70 contemporary documents (52 newspaper reports, 17 letters and journals, and one scientific paper) and seven reminiscences, which describe foreshocks, felt effects, faulting, and some of the aftershocks associated with this earthquake. Most of the reports come from the major populated areas: Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, San Jose, Sacramento, and Stockton, but other areas are also covered. Notes on toponomy and other historical issues are included. These documents were originally published as a microfiche supplement to Agnew and Sieh (1978); this reprinting is intended to make them more widely accessible on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of this earthquake. 1 Introduction The collection of earthquake reports reprinted here began in 1972, as a project for a class on seismology taught by Clarence Allen, in which I learned that the southern extent of faulting in the 1857 “Fort Tejon” earthquake was uncertain. From reading Arrington (1958) in a previous course in Western US history, I knew that there had been a Mormon colony in San Bernardino in 1857, and that most colonies kept a daily journal. A trip to the Church Historical Office in Salt Lake City found such a journal, and a search through available newspapers showed many more accounts than had been used by Wood (1955).

  • Rachel Carson
    FIRST PUBLISHED 1951 THE SEA AROUND US tells the strange and exciting story of the seas, how they came into being, and how Earth's life emerged from them. Miss Carson writes of the teeming life of the upper levels, of the icy, black, primeval depths, of the immense forces which find their expression in tides and currents, of towering mountains and desolate canyons. She describes the pulsings of spring when salmon migrate and jelly fish spawn, of the mysterious creatures that have so far evaded all man's efforts to catch them. Rachel Carson was a scientist by vocation who happened to possess the poetic, imaginative temperament of a truly great writer “The sense of force and movement in her prose is one of Miss Carson's best qualities . perfectly suited to her subject, to the restless, always moving waters, swarming with life, full of beauty and horror” Jacquetta Hawkes Over two-thirds of the Earth’s surface is covered by the sea. In this unique and fascinating book, Rachel Carson does nothing less than present a history of the sea from the earliest times and draw a panoramic picture in magnificent prose of the fantastic marine world which hides beneath its enigmatic surface. Miss Carson traces the beginnings of the sea in the Chaos of the World’s birth pangs and shows how the Earth’s first crude forms of life emerged from its saline womb. She describes the swarming life of the upper levels, the icy black primeval depths fissured with unimaginably deep canyons and ridged with immense mountain ranges, and the titanic forces of tides and currents.

  • 2019 America's Most Endangered Rivers ® Report
    AMERICA’S MOST ENDANGERED RIVERS® 2019 2 019 America’s Most Climate change is the most Endangered consequential environmental Rivers® challenge facing our planet. Introduction Water scarcity due to global warming could displace 700 million people worldwide by 2030. In the same time frame, 54 million lives globally could be impacted by river floods. In the United States, our climate has warmed by 1.8 degrees in the past century. It’s time to get real about what this means: Forest fires are growing more destructive, cities are struggling to do more with less water, fish and wildlife are struggling to survive and storms are triggering more life-threatening floods. Moreover, the harshest impacts of climate change are often most prevalent in economically disadvantaged communities and communities of color. We must heed the warnings of the scientific community and quickly move away from reliance on dirty fossil fuels. And, we must unite for the clean water our families and ecosystems need to survive. Healthy rivers are key to protecting this life-giving resource for future generations. Rivers provide clean drinking water, water our crops, power our homes and businesses, provide wildlife habitat, reduce the severity of floods and droughts and provide wild places for us to fish, boat and explore. Today, our nation is at a crossroads: Will we act to protect rivers and strengthen our communities, or will we continue to exploit and damage our rivers, making ourselves more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change? America’s Most Endangered Rivers® of 2019 highlights what’s at stake and the critical choices we face for our future.

  • John Ford Birth Name: John Martin Feeney (Sean Aloysius O'fearna)
    John Ford Birth Name: John Martin Feeney (Sean Aloysius O'Fearna) Director, Producer Birth Feb 1, 1895 (Cape Elizabeth, ME) Death Aug 31, 1973 (Palm Desert, CA) Genres Drama, Western, Romance, Comedy Maine-born John Ford originally went to Hollywood in the shadow of his older brother, Francis, an actor/writer/director who had worked on Broadway. Originally a laborer, propman's assistant, and occasional stuntman for his brother, he rose to became an assistant director and supporting actor before turning to directing in 1917. Ford became best known for his Westerns, of which he made dozens through the 1920s, but he didn't achieve status as a major director until the mid-'30s, when his films for RKO (The Lost Patrol [1934], The Informer [1935]), 20th Century Fox (Young Mr. Lincoln [1939], The Grapes of Wrath [1940]), and Walter Wanger (Stagecoach [1939]), won over the public, the critics, and earned various Oscars and Academy nominations. His 1940s films included one military-produced documentary co-directed by Ford and cinematographer Gregg Toland, December 7th (1943), which creaks badly today (especially compared with Frank Capra's Why We Fight series); a major war film (They Were Expendable [1945]); the historically-based drama My Darling Clementine (1946); and the "cavalry trilogy" of Fort Apache (1948), She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949), and Rio Grande (1950), each of which starred John Wayne. My Darling Clementine and the cavalry trilogy contain some of the most powerful images of the American West ever shot, and are considered definitive examples of the Western. Ford also had a weakness for Irish and Gaelic subject matter, in which a great degree of sentimentality was evident, most notably How Green Was My Valley (1941) and The Quiet Man (1952), which was his most personal film, and one of his most popular.

As described in Chapter 2, Bosque Background, until the past century most of the dramatic changes along the Middle Rio Grande occurred through a natural fl ooding cycle. The river valley was a changing mosaic of habitats: over the years marshes would form, silt in, and dry out; river banks would develop and then shift locations; cottonwood trees would sprout and then some would be washed away while other stands would grow to maturity. Although these changes were sometimes dramatic, they were generally cyclical. If a single stand of trees was washed away, somewhere in the valley other stands were getting established. When a marsh dried out and became grassland, other marshes were being formed elsewhere which provided that wet habitat. Human activity has disrupted this annual fl ooding cycle, particularly in the past century. To control fl ooding and dry out waterlogged soils in the valley, people built dams, reservoirs, levees, and drains. In addition, people have intentionally and accidentally introduced many exotic plants and animals to the area. Major compo- nents of the bosque, such as water table levels and plant and animal communities, are rapidly changing.
