  • Quest for 10 (2021)
    Quest for 10 – Edition 2021 Information Package Hosted and sponsored by: Written by: Kenny Panza & Sam Waddington Welcome to you fellow hiker/runner to the 2021 edition of the Quest for 10. We are once again excited to introduce you to a whole new series of amazing hikes in our beautiful backcountry. This year’s Quest for 10 will be open from July 15th to October 17th. Your registration for this event is a donation to trail and climbing development initiatives in the region as well as for the afterparty at Tractor Grease Café in October. Our goal is to raise as much money as possible to give back to the trails, so please encourage friends to sign up, rather than giving them the trail details that you receive as part of your registration package. As a participant to the Quest for 10, you are also eligible for prizes under the following categories: ● Prize category #1 - Completed at least 1 hike ● Prize category #2 - Completed at least 5 hikes ● Prize category #3 - Completed all 10 hikes ● Prize category #4 - Completed all 10 hikes the fastest (time starts at the summit of your first peak, or landmark, and ends on the summit of your last) For those who are not familiar with the Quest for 10, Mt. Waddington’s Outdoors records the completion of each of your hikes when you send a selfie from each “photo location” as well as a perspective photo (regular view photo) from the “photo location”. These two photos should prove that you were 1) at the location and 2) that it was you who completed the hike.

Brown4 Prepared in cooperation with the Washington State Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geology and Earth Resources, Olympia, Washington, 98504 OPEN FILE REPORT 94-403 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S.Geological Survey editorial standards or with the North American Stratigraphic Code. Any use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. iu.S.G.S., Menlo Park, California 94025 2U.S.G.S., University of Washington, AJ-20, Seattle, Washington 98195 3SWMD, King County Department of Public Works, Seattle, Washington, 98104 ^Department of Geology, Western Washington University, Bellingham, Washington 98225 INTRODUCTION The Mount Baker 30- by 60-minute quadrangle encompasses rocks and structures that represent the essence of North Cascade geology. The quadrangle is mostly rugged and remote and includes much of the North Cascade National Park and several dedicated Wilderness areas managed by the U.S. Forest Service. Geologic exploration has been slow and difficult. In 1858 George Gibbs (1874) ascended the Skagit River part way to begin the geographic and geologic exploration of the North Cascades. In 1901, Reginald Daly (1912) surveyed the 49th parallel along the Canadian side of the border, and George Smith and Frank Calkins (1904) surveyed the United States' side. Daly's exhaustive report was the first attempt to synthesize what has become an extremely complicated geologic story.

    The Mountaineer The Mountaineer 1969 Cover Photo: Mount Shuksan, near north boundary North Cascades National Park-Lee Mann Entered as second-class matter, April 8, 1922, at Post Office, Seattle, Wash., under the Act of March 3, 1879. Published monthly and semi-monthly during June by The Mountaineers, P.O. Box 122, Seattle, Washington 98111. Clubroom is at 7191h Pike Street, Seattle. Subscription price monthly Bulletin and Annual, $5.00 per year. EDITORIAL STAFF: Alice Thorn, editor; Loretta Slat­ er, Betty Manning. Material and photographs should be submitted to The Mountaineers, at above address, before Novem­ ber 1, 1969, for consideration. Photographs should be black and white glossy prints, 5x7, with caption and photographer's name on back. Manuscripts should be typed double-spaced and include writer's name, address and phone number. foreword Since the North Cascades National Park was indubi­ tably the event of this past year, this issue of The Mountaineer attempts to record aspects of that event. Many other magazines and groups have celebrated by now, of course, but hopefully we have managed to avoid total redundancy. Probably there will be few outward signs of the new management in the park this summer. A great deal of thinking and planning is in progress as the Park Serv­ ice shapes its policies and plans developments. The North Cross-State highway, while accessible by four­ wheel vehicle, is by no means fully open to the public yet. So, visitors and hikers are unlikely to "see" the changeover to park status right away. But the first articles in this annual reveal both the thinking and work which led to the park, and the think­ ing which must now be done about how the park is to be used.

Included in this document or referenced accordingly, is information about when, where, and how to conduct surveys. Also included are brief descriptions of pertinent information including the technical description, range, and habitat, pulled from Conservation Assessments for each species, and updated where applicable. The full text of the Conservation Assessments may be found at: www.or.blm.gov/isssp/ and fsweb.r6.fs.fed.us/nr/Botany/botany.shtml. March 10, 2006 USDA Forest Service Regions 5 and 6 USDI Bureau of Land Management, Oregon and California Attachment 1 - 1 Survey Guidance for Bryophytes Strategic surveys for four Category B bryophytes have not been completed. In order to reduce the inadvertent loss of undiscovered sites, the 2001 Standard and Guidelines requires equivalent effort surveys for habitat disturbing activities in old-growth forest for projects with decisions in fiscal year 2006 and beyond, until such time that strategic surveys have been completed for the province that encompasses the project area. The four bryophytes are: • Kurzia makinoana • Marsupella emarginata var. aquatica • Orthodontium gracile • Tritomaria exsectiformis Direction in the 2001 ROD (page 9, Standards and Guidelines) specifically identifies that equivalent effort surveys for these species must be conducted for a proposed project when all of the following are met: 1. Project lies within the known or suspected range of the species.

  • Plan - Appendix A
    Plan - Appendix A APPENDIX A Timber Program Activity Schedule This appendix displays how the allowable sale quantity of chargeable sawtimber projected by the Forest Plan ,that is likely to be provided during the period 1990 through 1999. The first portion of table 1-A shows proposed sales in Fiscal Years 1990 through 1992. These sales are relatively firm, based on current conditions and information available. The second part of Table A-1 list a pool of possible projects (Timber Sales) that could be implemented over the remainder of the period, FY 1993 - 1999. These sales can be considered probable sales in the initial stages of sale preparation. Conditions and new information at any time may eliminate, delay, or revise a scheduled sale. The timber sale schedule may be modified during the implementation of this Plan. The degree of modification will determine whether the Plan needs amendment in accordance with the required process. Additional program information is provided for the entire ten year period in Table 4-1 of the Forest Plan. The timber sale schedule displayed in Table A-1 will be modified if conditions change from those that existed when the Forest Plan was developed, and as new information becomes available during implementation of the Forest Plan. This sale schedule was developed from the Ten-Year Allowable Sale Quantity Goals by Working Group and Management Area, Table 4-1.
