The Columbia River is many things to many people—a hydroelectric powerhouse, one of North America's mightiest waterways, a historic highway, a Native homeland, a geologic marvel, a salmon nursery. It is a key element in history books, the subject of rollicking songs, namesake of a dozen geographic sites such as the Columbia Gorge. It binds the Northwest, cleaves its mountains, waters its lands. It also provides one of the most compelling outdoor adventures in the Northwest, a waterborne journey from past to present and back again. Green Douglas firs where the waters cut through Down her wild mountains and canyons she flew So sang Woody Guthrie in a famous 1941 song, Roll on Columbia. "To the oceans so blue...

When Skunks Mate they are More Smelly We are more aware of skunks in spring and summer, but they're quite active February through March, a lesson my dog, Dida, and I learned the hard way. Though skunks sleep deeply for 3.5 months at a time, they are not true hibernators. Male skunks will leave their dens during warm spells seeking females for mates. Their mating season is typically February through March, but it really depends on winter conditions. Nocturnal by nature, males will travel up to five miles under the protection of dark. Skunks use their odor as defense, and are extra smelly during the mating season as male skunks will spray each other, plus disapproving females also spray males away. With no natural predators, skunks go about their business care-free as most wildlife is keenly aware of what that odor means. Dogs Don't Run Aw... Read more

Dried rice, burger and red sweet pepper for an unstuffed pepper meal.
