Oregon Seceding?
https://jeffersonoutfitters.com/jeffersonhistory/the-xx/ Well actually it all started in 1852 or before. My wife said she remembers discussing it in grade school class in Grants Pass in the early 1950's. -

Oregon Seceding?
Variations of this plan have been championed since the early 1950's. I don't think it will happen any time soon. -

"Well, you came up here for adventure, didn't ya?"
The first year I guided out of Happy Valley (pump station #2) ... I had no experience up there in the tundra country. When I asked if you keep food or game meat aways away from the tent ... that got a big laugh. They said keep that food inside and the game meat / capes piled next to it or it...- muskeg

Black Bear Tags
Unit #1 which is the mainland in SE Ak is mostly over the counter tags. Unit's #2 & #3 are draw or guided. The mainland basically has no roads, so access is by vessel or float plane. It takes some logistical planning but a very good Bear hunt can be put together. I would say the largest Bears...- muskeg

Ancient Indian art
On a rock shelf along the Portland Canal south of Hyder, Ak. A very old Native painting of a sun & some other things. Almost gone from view because of the lichen growing on the rock.- muskeg

Avoiding the High and Dry
We were able to struggle the skiff to the water, and get a hunt on. That is a 16ft / 30hp. You won't move an 18ft boat, you will be stuck like Velcro. Study the tide book for when you are going to be hunting. The best tides for hunting is low water and incoming. If it's low tide in the late...- muskeg

Making the ferry to Hollis at Ketchikan?
I would not plan on making that ferry connection. Wheels down at 2:45 will not be enough time. They start boarding the ferry at 2:30 and are closing the gates usually by 3:15 or before. 3:30 departure is not 3:30 last call boarding time. Like npaden suggests your options are fly over on Island...- muskeg

SE Alaska Fishing
There is Halibut fishing early, middle & late season. They are a migratory fish so it gets better as the feed gets better as the season goes on. Herring start things off in April and it's like dominos after that through Oct. Pick some dates (have alternatives) that fit into your schedule and...- muskeg
