Section Q of the PCT often gets little respect. By reputation, it is hot (thru-hikers tend to pass through in July). It is forested with a minimum of views. But, it has areas of wonderful beauty like the McCloud River and Squaw Creek. This is a 2017 photo by Matthew Kennedy taken when he dropped into the McCloud River basin. This moss covered Canyon Live Oak (Quercus chrysolepsis) indicates a lowering in elevation.

This seems like something positive to share

Thank you for sharing this!

California is working on several dam-removal projects, which will allow species like winter-run Chinook salmon to access parts of the river that have been closed off to them for decades.

This will be the first time in 80 years that these salmon have been returned to the McCloud River. The first release of the salmon eggs was a joint endeavor between state and federal wildlife officials and members of the Winnemem Wintu Tribe.

"As [Caleen Sisk] carried a cupful [of salmon eggs] to the tank, she said she was 'talking to the eggs about their ancestors,' the salmon that swam there long ago. 'And just trying to give them the courage and support,' she said, 'that we’re here for them and we’re going to do the best that we can.'"

This is a shot of Lower McCloud Falls, also known as Fowler Falls on the McCloud River in Siskiyou County. I pulled in to the falls to stretch my legs a couple hours in to a 3 hour drive on a quite rainy morning at around 8am. On a summer day this spot is quite crowded with sightseers and swimmers but on this late October morning I was the only human in sight.

These falls are the third and final in a series of 3 waterfalls in the area of the river known as the upper McCloud River, above McCloud Reservoir, which is just a few miles downstream. All three of the falls are beautiful in their own way, with the Middle Falls being arguably the most spectacular (but I thought Lower Falls was definitely holding its own on this day). Visitors to the area can hike a relatively easy 4 mile round trip trail that offers views of all three falls and, if one is willing to visit early in the morning during the off-season it can be a wonderfully peaceful experience.

The tribe, which is located in the Shasta Cascade region of Northern California, has been fighting for almost a decade to reintroduce their sacred salmon, the winter-run Chinook, to the McCloud River. For millennia, the tribe ensured the safe travel of the Chinook upstream to colder waters, so the fish could reproduce. They’d light fires at night along the river, as well as physically carry fish in baskets on foot if there were obstacles along the way.

Then came the Shasta Dam. Up until the 1930s, many Winnemem Wintu lived on the lands surrounding the McCloud River without legally owning it. Congress passed the Central Valley Project Indian Lands Acquisition Act to take whatever allotment lands tribal members owned in advance of the dam’s construction. The plan was to flood the immediate area to create a reservoir with the waters of the upper Sacramento, Pit, and McCloud Rivers. Tribal members were displaced, and hundreds of ancestral Winnemem Wintu villages, sacred sites, and burial grounds now sit underwater at the bottom of the reservoir.

The dam also blocked the salmon from being able to return to their spawning grounds, leading their population to decline. Climate change, the dam, and proposed changes to nearby estuaries now pose further threats to the endangered fish.

The tribe’s lack of federal recognition prevents it from having the same protections other nations do. As such, the Winnemem Wintu’s opportunities to return to unaffected portions of their land — now considered public lands or private property held by non-Indigenous peoples — are limited.

But today, on Indigenous Peoples’ Day no less, the tribe purchased 1,080 acres of their ancestral lands. More than $2 million in private donations were used to fund the sale. What was left over, as well as separate grant funding, will support the construction of an eco-village, which will marry Indigenous living traditions with future-forward land management practices.

I Believe In. . . (Contest / I believe in....)

I believe in sought-silence

to enlighten. To refine as I sit near a silver topped river.

Tranquil, I recline

under a weeping willow. Not a widow at this time.

Still,

I wonder of such things of woe and evil inclined...

I gaze upwards through long, narrow, light-green leaves

for answers

not designed to deceive as I begin to recall:

weeping willows are tolerant of many type soils.

Healthy and hardy: Not really needed fertilizer at all.

Though often bothered

by persistent pest and disease issues, their beauty I receive

as to other nature lover's called.

Targeted spraying helps alleviate their issues.

Though, green leaves turning yellow are considered 'normal' in the fall...

All around I see evidence of a Creator caring:

A sun brilliant available to even those violent. Engaged in warring.

Seeking 'blood' in constant 'brawls'.

Yet, this 'King of Eternity' has set a time limit

to ending wickedness.

A 'day of vengeance' it is 'righteously' called.

To the 'meek' a time of salvation.

Granted deliverance in a way of awe.

Whereas, for the 'wicked' a day of destruction.

To a 'majority'

it will befall...

***

“Go in through the narrow gate,

because broad is the gate and spacious is the road leading off into destruction,

and many are going in through it;

whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life,

and few are finding it." Matt. 7:13, 14.

***

Our way of worship 'true' or 'false'.

A death-dealing poison? Or an enlightening-- Luminol...

***

Under my 'weeping-willow' wondrously enthralled

I contemplate Thomas Carlyle's quotes:

"Speech is human, silence is divine, yet also brutish and dead:

therefore we must learn both arts."

"That there should one Man die ignorant who had capacity for Knowledge,

this I call a tragedy." Withal... Certainly.

Day 70- Film: The Lusty Men 

Release date: October 24th, 1952. 

Studio: RKO 

Genre: Western 

Director: Nicholas Ray 

Producer: Jerry Wald, Norman Krasna 

Actors: Susan Hayward, Robert Mitchum, Arthur Kennedy, Arthur Hunnicutt 

Plot Summary: The injured legendary rodeo rider Jeff McCloud travels back to his hometown. Once there he meets a couple who are saving up to buy his childhood home and ranch. McCloud befriends them, and when Wes, the young man, shows interest in competing in rodeos, McCloud mentors him. The money Wes might make from rodeos could help him afford a ranch in months rather than years. But Wes’ wife Louise is sick with worry over her husband’s safety.  

My Rating (out of five stars): **** 1/2 

Wow! This movie kind of blindsided me- it was a great film. I wasn’t expecting it to be so good- it’s gotta be up there in the top tier of 1952 films I’ve seen so far. It’s not a masterpiece at the level of Ikiru or Singin’ in the Rain, but it’s in good company with Phone Call from a Stranger, Five Fingers, and Sudden Fear. 

The Good: 

Robert Mitchum. This is the first movie I’ve seen with him where I really fell under his charms. He looks so perfect in this kind of western- denim fits him like a glove. His stoic laconic demeanor works well here too, and with his extreme masculinity, you just completely buy him as a bull rider. 

Arthur Kennedy. I’ve become a fan of his since the project started- everything I’ve seen him in is impressive. His versatility is considerable- in Bend of the River he played a hardened criminal, in The Girl in White he was a sensitive and scientific beau for June Allyson, in Rancho Notorious he was a man obsessed with vengeance, and in this he begins as idealistic, with an almost childlike hero-worship of Jeff, and becomes corrupted and jaded. There’s a reason he was cast in prominent roles in so many films in 1952. 

Susan Hayward. She’s another actor I’ve developed an affection for during the project. This role requires a lot of skill- Louise could easily have become grating if not played well. She did a good job playing a woman with a hard protective shell. Yes, she can seem harsh, and at one point I was worried she might be being painted as a bad nagging wife, but it all comes from a place of fear. She grew up in abject poverty, constantly moving, with no consistency. She finally has a husband and some financial security, and she’s terrified of losing it. That motivates every single thing she does in the film. 

The character Rosemary. She gave me Dora vibes- my love from Outlaw Women that I’m still pining for. She was a tough talkin’ tough livin’ gal, and I loved her. 

Arthur Hunnicutt as Booker, the beat-up old timer with his war wounds from rodeoing. He’s a perfect character actor, constantly making us laugh with his tall tales. 

This was a very interesting look at rodeo life- what your lifestyle would be if you were a bronc or bull rider. The people you camp with, the prize money offered, the danger involved, etc... It also gave me huge respect for the rodeo clowns who often become decoys for the bulls when they get out of control.  

I loved loved loved that Hayward didn’t fall in love with Mitchum. The poster would lead you to believe otherwise... but even though Mitchum fell for her near the beginning of the movie, the only one she loved was her husband. That flipped all my expectations on their head, and I loved it. 

No guns were even fired or used! I cannot tell you how much I loved that fact. Here we have a western with one of Hollywood’s most macho men, and he doesn’t even have a gun or use one! He finds an old piece of a gun at his childhood home, but it’s not even complete. One of my least favorite things about westerns is guns, so to go nearly two hours without them was not only heaven, but also very daring and interesting. Mitchum doesn't need a gun to prove his masculinity, riding a bull takes multitudes more courage.

The film continually defied my expectations. The two previous examples are big reasons why. The ending is something I also did not see coming. 

The special effects with footage of real rodeo riders. There were some limitations that of course showed, but I thought it was effective. 

The Bad: 

There were some obvious painted sets a few times that distracted me.

The rushed ending. What happened wasn’t the problem for me, just how it was kind of rushed. Two huge incredibly consequential things happen, and they both felt too hurried. If the film had taken a bit more time to hit those emotional beats, it would have been more moving and satisfying, I believe.
