Thanks Jan,
I've always loved reading St Clairs' articles.He writes so much about the landscapes here in the Northwest.He calls the Columbia River a paradox,but really the States of Oregon and Washington are pure paradoxes.The Western half being wet with temporate rainforests,and the Eastern half is dry high desert country.That we have the worlds most toxic ground is sad indeed.I've lived here for most of my entire adult life.I've seen with my own eyes the steady disapearence of the great salmon runs.I look forward to his continuing essay,and will add it to this post.
Hey,and thanks for the tip on Edward Abbey,I didn't know what that reference was about.:fisheye:
