Censored Ad of the Week
This ad was banned in Portland. It sounds like a no-brainer: removing the outdated dams on the Klamath River is cheaper than fixing them. The best part is that this would restore a major salmon fishery, helping commercial fishing businesses and the economy. This stuff is still controversial for some folks, but consider this: If…

Photo of the Day: El Cap Reflected by Tyler Westcott
Today’s Photo of the Day comes to us from Tyler Westcott who you may remember also had his awesome panoramic of Cathedral Lake and Jeffrey Pine at Dusk featured as Photo of the Day. I think the thing that drew me to this photo the most was the brilliant blues of the sky and landscape…

20 miles from the nearest plowed road
From the Tuolumne winter rangers — Wildlife: We had quite the wildlife sighting last Friday, as we got to watch a pine marten (a large member of the weasel family) try to catch a White-tailed Jackrabbit during the height of the snowstorm.
