5 miles past the closed gate on industrial forest land. Port Blakley Timber Company. This company welcomes e bikes.
All situations are not the same. My e bike that I have to pedal sure is not causing any damage were logging trucks roll every day.
Washington Blackie I was fortunate to bag this year. Hunted him for 5 days until he made a mistake. Shot him under this golden rainbow. One of those hunts you will always remember.

I get an incredible amount of information f from them.
I am reading that the Nation Weather Service is next. This...
