You know a lot about the area. I know the people that live down in southern ore have a lot of political power. I don't know why? I know there was some kind of push to put a dam on the Umpqua and the locals were livid. I think they got it stopped because of the steelhead? I also remember them making a big stink about the loggers. A few years back a house was completely buried in mud during an unusually heavy rain storm. Two people died......a man and wife. They managed to get the teenage kids out just in time. The amount of mud coming down off of the hill side was attributed to how close they logged next to a little creek that ran near the house.

I have heard it said that the Calif/hippy dippy/econut locals have been trying to shut down the loggers for years. The last we heard, they had resigned themselves to the fact that just isn't going to happen.

I sense an I've got mine, everyone else stay away and leave us alone tude.
