Yesterday in 1887, a group of horse thieves killed over 30 Chinese gold miners in Hells Canyon in far eastern #Oregon.

A lot more tourists today on the #Oregon Coast. But a little vertical helps to lessen the crowds.

Tried to organize a cook out for tonight and failed. 3 out of 4 people declined due to allergies (pollen season).

Woke up to something chewing a hole in the leather of my boots. This isn’t the AT, we don’t have mice I don’t think. I have a feeling it was something larger. What could it possibly be?

Why would someone release a snapping turtle into a watershed where they weren't native?

Was it a pet that got too big?

Port Orford, Oregon, looking south towards Humbug Mountain. A gem of a park and a fantastic place for a park bench on the Pacific Coast Highway near the Oregon - California border. March 1984. I wish I packed a lunch.

Dune, grass, blue sky and clouds. A rainy day turns fine at Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, March 1984. The spring following my Appalachian Trail hike, I took a long bus ride to Seattle, where I rented an economy car and drove down the Pacific Coast Highway and sometimes even smaller coastal roads to San Francisco.

Signage at the Wallowa-Whitman Mission has been updated to include #Indigenous perspectives about Whitman. NPS Director Chuck Sams (who's Cayuse and Walla Walla) described it to me as "one of the best examples I’ve seen in my own lifetime" of public signage adjusting for honesty about colonial violence.

But the signage at Deadman's Pass in #Oregon continues to erase Indigenous people and perpetuate settler mythologies.

(More from my conversation with Director Sams: https://www.hcn.org/issues/54.11/indigenous-affairs-national-park-service-from-dominance-to-stewardship-chuck-sams-indigenous-approach-to-the-nps)

Signage at Deadman's Pass does mention Marcus Whitman, a missionary high on Manifest Destiny who got his ass handed to him by the Cayuse.

Whitewashed and demonizing accounts of #Indigenous heroes protecting their lands and people inspired even more colonizers to descend upon Cayuse lands and persecute the people with religious oppression.

More on the fraudulent "Whitman massacre" and its role in the #Oregon Trail: https://columbiainsight.org/the-fraud-that-inspired-the-settling-of-the-northwest/

Cayuse and Nez Perce linguistic anthropologist Phillip Cash Cash once told me about a place in #Oregon called Deadman's Pass, where settler-colonizers murdered an #Indigenous family gathering food. Even today, public historical signage at Deadman's Pass gives a pleasant view of settlers, calling them "emigrants" and lionizing their efforts at colonization. The signage makes no mention of #Indigenous people.

More from Cash Cash on why this kind of thing matters: https://www.hcn.org/issues/54.5/people-places-how-place-names-impact-the-way-we-see-landscape

"One morning, I woke up to my dad’s panicked voice yelling, 'Get up, get up, get up!' He threw my bed aside, and he and my mom threw gunnysacks full of fish into the hole, along with a net covered in fish scales. He quickly changed and scrubbed off what mud he could, tossing his scaly clothing down with the fish.

"Soon the state game wardens came knocking at our door..."

Lana Jack recalls the Fish Wars.

Walking through the rain towards the ocean. Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, March 1984.

A storm is ending, but the rain is still falling at this early point in my hike, helping create this moody panorama. I am hiking through a very broad swathe of sand dunes along the Oregon coast.

Made it out on the trail at sunrise. Little bit of a green tunnel so far but just hit this view of Gillette Lake and Table Mountain. So happy to be out in nature. There is something so freeing about living off of only the possessions you have in your backpack.

@JacksonBates nything by U.S.composer Philip Glass. His Piano Concerto #3 performed on piano by Simone Dinnerstein is really really good.

I saw her perform this live at Beall Hall on University of #Oregon campus (she was incredible), and prior night attended a talk with Glass at the Hult Center's Soreng Theatre. His work is very easy to love, might be the combination of melodic repition and easy to follow scores.

Rainbow Over the Owyhee Dam

A picture perfect moment on a gorgeous spring day. I was totally mesmerized as I gazed down over the edge of the canyon. To my delight a rainbow spread it's colors over the canyon just for a fleeting moment as I lifted my camera to capture it's beauty.

Ironic that Dembrow and Mapps cite the State and federal legislatures as examples of the value of districting, like those bodies are the picture children of #democracy rather than collapsed and impotent. #oregon lege can't even hold a vote right now, and the federal House can't decide if paying our bills is actually important.

The names have been released of the 7 farmworkers killed in the crash outside of Albany, OR last week.

7 people on their way home from growing and picking your food, in a country that gives them no status and no protections in exchange for that hard, skilled, necessary work.

Even when living directly in the middle of an Old Growth Doug Fir forest (yea!) in #Oregon, this allergy year has been one of the best ever.

Until yesterday, when the Cottonwoods started spewing their cotton balls of seed/pollen. Looks like light snow falling. My ass has been kicked for 48 hours now. Mild runny nose and watery eyes but mainly extreme fatigue. Tried some yard work, legs felt like they were dragging around 20# weights. Grrrrr

This is what it looked like here in the PNW when we had those sting of bad fires in Sept 2020

I truly hope it clears up before to much longer.

It was like this for several weeks here. It even got way worse as seen in the 2nd and 3rd photos. The first two are both looking towards the East and the other is looking West.

Hiked up Elk Mountain this morning to do a loop hike, returning on the Elk Creek trail. The Elk Mountain trail climbs straight up the mountain, ascending 2000 feet of elevation in the first 1.5 miles. The summit was in a cloud so no views at the top. Still enjoyed it. Was passed by a trail runner who I saw yesterday in the gorge.

Made it up to the viewpoint on Larch Mountain for this first time this year. The ascent was just over 4000 feet if elevation over 7 miles and 3 hours. While the snow cooperated, the clouds unfortunately did not. I saw the tip of Mount Hood poking out of the clouds and could barely make out St Helens in the distance. The rest were hiding. The snow has mostly melted with some snow fields above 3500 feet.
