Floating the Yakima
My cousin and her husband are visiting this week so Beth arranged a 12 mile guided float down the Yakima. We’ve taken guided fishing trips on the Yakima before but this time it was fun to just relax and float by the beautiful scenery. The weather was sunny but cool.
Despite the lack of rain, the river was high due to high demand for agricultural irrigation. Several dammed lakes are managed to provide the necessary water. The dams feed water from the bottom of the lakes, so the water is cold and comfortable for the trout and salmon.
The trip starts where the Yakima passes through conifer forests near our house but then moves to the semi arid plateau, cutting through the igneous rock formations until it eventually joins the Columbia.

Mount Rainier National Park Archives Photo of Sunrise Point under construction in 1930. Sunrise Road, open during the summer, climbs steeply up Sunrise Ridge in long switchbacks to Yakima Park at 6,400 feet. The last of the switchbacks is at Sunrise Point, an outcrop on the end of the ridge at 6,120 feet with near 360-degree views overlooking the White River Valley and the surrounding Cascade Range.

Sunrise Point, despite its prominence, was designed to blend with the surrounding landscape through the use of stone walls that mimic the mountain ridges and peaks in the distance. During the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation Corps also restored the vegetation around the area. Sunrise Road was constructed between 1927-1931.
Still popular with visitors, Sunrise Point is an excellent example of a NPS Rustic style developed area and is part of the Mount Rainier National Historic Landmark District. Have you taken in the views from Sunrise Point?

International Day of Action For Rivers
International Day of Action For Rivers, observed on March 14 every year, is a day that is dedicated to saving, celebrating, and creating awareness about the importance of rivers. Did you know that two million tons of sewage, industrial and agricultural waste are discharged into the world’s water every day? Yes, it is the equivalent of the weight of the entire human population of 6.8 billion people! This is why it is our time to save our rivers for the good of humanity.
History of International Day of Action For Rivers
The International Day of Action For Rivers is a day created by the International Day of Rivers to sensitize people about the importance of rivers. It brings people across the world together to talk about and save rivers by addressing the issues related to river management, river pollution, river conservation, etc.
The history of the origin of the International Day of Action For Rivers is an interesting one. In September 1995, several organizations, including International Rivers Network (I.R.N.), India’s Save the Narmada Movement (N.B.A.), Chile’s Biobio Action Group (GABB), and European Rivers Network (ERN) came together and conducted a preparatory meeting in Brazil. As a result, they formed an international Organizing Committee headed by Brazil’s Movement of People Affected by Large Dams (MAB).
In March 1997, in Curitiba, Brazil, participants of the First International Meeting of People Affected by Dams adopted the International Day of Action Against Dams and For Rivers, Water and Life. Furthermore, they decided that the International Day of Action For Rivers will take place on March 14.
Every year there will be a theme for the International Day of Action For Rivers, and last year, in 2021, the theme was ‘Rights of Rivers.’ It demanded that rivers be declared a national asset and given legal rights to stop the rivers from becoming dumping sites for waste and sewages.
Environment enthusiasts conduct workshops, seminars, and activities to celebrate this day to raise awareness and spread the message. So, let’s take a stand against the activities that harm the rivers and protect them at all costs.

Tumblr media
Book Description:Why must all good things come to an end?
In Washington State wine country, Red Mountain is a refuge for searchers and wanderers, artists and lovers, farmers and chefs--people looking for a place to belong. Despite the stunning landscape, the world-class wines, and their best efforts, the eccentric inhabitants often attract trouble.
Brooks Baker, the man with the most broken of pasts, craves stability, but he's forced into making a tough decision when the woman he loves considers a move to Florida.
Margot Pierce, the dream chaser and innkeeper who fled Vermont to escape her first marriage, faces a new challenge when her fiancé's estranged daughter comes to town.
Otis Till, the grapefather, knows it's time to hand over the reins to the new guard of Red Mountain. But he wants just one last great vintage before he goes.
Red Mountain Burning is the third and final book in the story of the many souls fighting to make their small wine-growing region thrive amidst a world of dysfunction and chaos. Are they strong enough to endure the many fires of the coming vintage or will Red Mountain go down in flames?
About the Author: Boo initially tapped his creative muse as a songwriter and banjoist in Nashville before working his way west to Washington State, where he bought a gentleman's farm on the Yakima River. It was there amongst the grapevines and wine barrels that he fell in love with telling high-impact stories that now resonate with book clubs around the world. with colorful characters and boundless soul, his novels will leave you with an open heart and a lifted spirit.
Always a wanderer, Boo currently lives in Cape Elizabeth, Maine with his wife and son. He also writes thrillers under the pen name Benjamin Blackmore.

Landscapes of the Pacific Northwest 2
As I mentioned in 1, you can buy prints of these works at
Tumblr media
Personally. This is my favorite. It's the Yakima River, which I've pinic'ed on many times. I love the gloss on the water, the way the medium makes the basalt sing. This was a joy to work on.
Since these are partly a catalogue of my journey, I should mention that my partner helped a little. I've gotten into the habit, as a result of this piece, of turning a completely finished project to my partner and saying, "okay, what is it that you think I'm still working on" and partner will invariably say something which winds up improving the piece. For this one, it was the shading under the shrub covered island. Always get a second pair I'd eyes on your work.
Wool isn't very tasty. Buy me a ko-fi:

which pokémon would be found in the state of washington? since western and eastern washington have significantly different climates and cultures, i’m assuming they’d be significantly different pokémon in the west and east as well?
There are some pretty significant differences! I've talked a bit about Seattle before in this post. But as I mentioned there, Buizel and other water-types are remarkably common along the west coast, but they're much harder to find once you head east. In the eastern half of the state, grass, rock, and ground-type Pokemon become more common.
Specifically in the eastern half of the state, there are an incredible abundance of Applin. In cities like Yakima, there are almost as many Applin as humans. East of the Cascades is also the only place in Washington where you can find large groups of Rockruff and Lycanroc, and Shuckle is mainly found in the area around the city of Spokane, where it serves as a sort of unofficial mascot.
The western half of the state has far more water-types, with its long coastline hosting large populations of Wailmer, Wingull, and even Popplio. There's also Axew living here, particularly in the deeply forested Olympic Peninsula far away from human settlements. This dense forest also holds several packs of Absol, though they're very poorly documented due to their incredible ability to avoid detection.
There are Pokemon that both sides share, though: Basculin are found in most rivers, streams, and lakes, and Teddiursa and Ursaring live in both halves of the state.

Stabilized version of the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film
from Wikipedia:
The Patterson–Gimlin film (also known as the Patterson film or the PGF) is an American short motion picture of an unidentified subject that the filmmakers have said was a Bigfoot. The footage was shot in 1967 in Northern California, and has since been subjected to many attempts to authenticate or debunk it. The footage was filmed alongside Bluff Creek, a tributary of the Klamath River, about 25 logging-road miles (40 km) northwest of Orleans, California, in Del Norte County on the Six Rivers National Forest. The film site is roughly 38 miles (60 km) south of Oregon and 18 miles (30 km) east of the Pacific Ocean. For decades, the exact location of the site was lost, primarily because of re-growth of foliage in the streambed after the flood of 1964. It was rediscovered in 2011. It is just south of a north-running segment of the creek informally known as "the bowling alley". The filmmakers were Roger Patterson (1933–1972) and Robert "Bob" Gimlin (born 1931). Patterson died of cancer in 1972 and "maintained right to the end that the creature on the film was real". Patterson's friend, Gimlin, has always denied being involved in any part of a hoax with Patterson. Gimlin mostly avoided publicly discussing the subject from at least the early 1970s until about 2005 ... Patterson and Gimlin both denied that they had perpetrated a hoax, but in a 1999 telephone interview with television producer Chris Packham for the BBC's The X Creatures, Gimlin said that for some time, "I was totally convinced no one could fool me. And of course I'm an older man now … and I think there could have been the possibility [of a hoax]. But it would have to be really well planned by Roger [Patterson]."
from Joe Nickell for CenterForInquiry.com
Philip Morris was born January 8, 1935, in Kalamazoo, Michigan, as Philip Morris Smith. At age eight he shortened his name and took to the stage with a magic act. ... In 1955, Morris and his wife Amy began selling theatrical supplies as a home-basement operation. One product was a gorilla suit, used especially for a popular sideshow illusion called “Girl-to-Gorilla.” (In this, Beauty is visibly metamorphosed to Beast, then suddenly lunges from the unlocked cage, stampeding spectators from the tent. ... About August 1967 (Morris recalled in a 2002 interview on Charlotte radio), he sold one of his gorilla suits to Roger Patterson, who used it in his famous hoaxed Bigfoot film on October 20 of that year. Morris informs that his suit was made in six pieces: head, body (a back-zippered fake-fur torso with arms and legs), and a pair of glove hands and latex feet. Patterson may have seen the Morris ad for gorilla suits in Amusement Business magazine, says Morris
from the Washington Post:
Bob Heironimus, a retired Pepsi bottler from Yakima, Wash., ... donned a gorilla costume and appeared in the famous grainy film clip that helped fuel the Bigfoot craze in 1967 and is studied by Bigfoot, Sasquatch and Yeti investigators to this day. "It's time people knew it was a hoax," Heironimus told us. "It's time to let this thing go. I've been burdened with this for 36 years, seeing the film clip on TV numerous times. Somebody's making lots of money off this, except for me. But that's not the issue -- the issue is that it's time to finally let people know the truth."
from Skeptical Inquirer, July/August 2004:
Moreover, several other people in the small town of Yakima have all vouched for Heironimus's story and can prove that they first heard of it shortly after the hoax was created. Heironimus claims that the Bigfoot costume was made of synthetic fur and bits of leather from a horse's hide. Patterson had added "breasts" to the chest of the Bigfoot creature. Heironimus also remembers that it contained football shoul- der pads inside it to "bulk it up," and that the head piece was, in fact, a dressed-up football helmet that had a mask attached to the front of it
In 1967, about two months before the film was made, Morris received a telephone call from Patterson: "I was the only one who was making a gorilla suit like that at that time. I knew what my gorilla suit looked like. It was brown. In the fifties and sixties, I made my gorilla suits only in brown. . . . Patterson asked me if I had a realistic-looking gorilla suit. I immediately asked him if he was a carny [carnival worker]. He said, 'No, I'm a rodeo cowboy. We're just going to have some fun.'" Morris recalls, "So I took one of my gorilla suits and shipped it to him. Parcel post, if I remember. It was a standard suit we sold to all our customers. Then, not long after he would have received the suit, I got a call from him. He said he had received the suit, and that it seemed okay, but, he said, 'I can see the zipper in the back.' I told him, 'Just brush the fur down over the zipper.' The fur on the suit was a material called Dynel. It was a nylon fiber, a popular material back then. It was used on lots of things, like plush toys, bathroom rugs, toilet seats. I bought it from my supplier in only two colors, black and brown. Then Roger wanted to know how to make the arms longer. I said, 'Find a shovel handle or a stick and slip it in the sleeves. Then attach the gloves to the stick.' That's how to extend the arms in a costume. You screw the gloves onto the stick. Then he said he wanted to make the shoulders more massive. I told him to go down to a local high school and get some old football pads—the coaches would probably be happy to get rid of some old, cracked ones—and put them in the shoulders." Morris stated that a six-foot-tall person could fit inside the suit. Bob Heironimus is slightly taller than six feet, and he was very muscular as a youth, especially in the shoulders, arms, thighs, and legs. Photographs taken of Heironimus in 1967 confirm this. Using a technique called photogrammetry, a study of the Bigfoot film done by the BBC calculated the height of the Bigfoot at just slightly over six feet. Regarding Bigfoot's gait, Morris states: "The Bigfoot researchers say that no human can walk that way in the film. Oh, yes they can! When you're wearing long clown's feet, you can't place the ball of your foot down first. You have to put your foot down flat. Otherwise, you'll stumble. Another thing, when you put on the gorilla head, you can only turn your head maybe a quarter of the way. And to look behind you, you've got to turn your head and your shoulders and your hips. Plus, the shoulder pads in the suit are in the way of the jaw. That's why the Bigfoot turns and looks the way he does in the film. He has to twist his entire upper body." Heironimus also confirmed that he had to turn his entire torso, instead of just his neck, because of how he was constrained in the suit.
