Cormorants are a nasty bird. About 5 years ago one of Minnesotas top fishing lakes all of a sudden turned into a dead sea. People stopped vacationing there and the resorts all but went out of business. The DNR finally admitted that the locals were right all along and hired a group of hunters to all but wipe out the cormorant poputation which was excessive. It didn't take but a couple of years for the fishing to pick up and today its back to being a prime fishing lake again. We don't like cormorants around here.

Asian Carp: Can't Beat Them? Eat Them


Plant owner Mike Schafer has spent the last seven years developing a market for Asian carp.
He says his company sells more than 2 million pounds each year — mostly in Asian-American
communities in California, New York and Chicago.

Adds new meaning to the phrase,
"Eat me, beat me and make me write hot checks."

My wife and I went camping up in the Cascades over Labor Day. This was what we got to sit and look at from our camp site. We didnt see one other person during the entire 3 day weekend, we were up around 4400 feet out in the middle of nowhere. This pic is looking almost due east at Mt Jefferson.

Are those natural deaths for some of the dead trees or did winds take them out?

There was a forest fire in the area 60 or 70 years ago, plus it has been logged and replanted since then.

Sober, my GF is from Oregon/Washington and we're planning a trip up that way, next summer. Can we count on meeting up, maybe?

That would be fun, I have never met anyone from Brown Cafe in person except for a couple of guys who work in my building.

Depends on the water. All fish as far as being edible depend on the water. As far as carp they produce large fleshy fillets. Farmers raise them in ponds and feed them pellets and I'm sure you've eaten farm raised carp and didn't know it. From the right water I would have no problem eating one.

I love farm raised catfish! YUMMY!!

Most beautiful area. I love that river. It is so great.

I love the mountains and the river. No place on earth like it.

We have some pretty cool and unique areas here too. No other place like it.

Nope, too small to be a heron. We thought it was a duck, at first when it was in the water.

Nope, not to small to be a heron. We have Black Crowned Night Herons here.

This one is a juvenile. When full grown they are only about 2 1/2 ft tall. I have had these in my yard.
