We went to the Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge today Jan 5, 2015 and it was a great experience. "The Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge is located 40
miles north of the Mexican border at the southern end of the Salton Sea
in California’s Imperial Valley."<br />

Quote of the Day~ “I claim that this bookless library is a dream, a hallucination of
on-line addicts; network neophytes, and library-automation
insiders...Instead, I suspect computers will deviously chew away at
libraries from the inside. They'll eat up book budgets and require
librarians that are more comfortable with computers than with children
and scholars. Libraries will become adept at supplying the public with
fast, low-quality information. </div>
<br />
The result won't be a library without books--it'll be a library without value.”
~ Clifford Stoll (Arthor of one of my favorite books "The Cockoo's Egg" - Well worth reading<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/30891.Clifford_Stoll"></a><br />

Quote of the Day ~ "There can be nothing in the world more beautiful than the Yosemite, the
groves of the giant sequoias and redwoods, the Canyon of the Colorado,
the Canyon of the Yellowstone, the Three Tetons; and our people should
see to it that they are preserved for their children and their
children's children forever, with their majestic beauty all unmarred." ~ Theodore Roosevelt Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01106665390219540402noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13192261.post-72090187593544978082014-10-29T22:15:00.001-07:002014-10-29T22:15:17.146-07:008/30/2014 Jackson, Wyoming<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

... Tillamook Rock Lighthouse.<br />
<br />
"In September 1879, a third survey was ordered, this time headed by John Trewavas, whose experience included the Wolf Rock lighthouse in England.Trewavas was overtaken by large swells and was swept into the sea while attempting a landing, and his body was never recovered. His replacement, Charles A. Ballantyne, had a difficult assignment recruiting workers due to the widespread negative reaction to Trewavas' death, and a general desire by the public to end the project. Ballantyne was eventually able to secure a group of quarrymen who knew nothing of the tragedy, and was able to resume work on the rock. Transportation to and from the rock involved the use of a derrick line attached with a breeches buoy, and in May 1880, they were able to completely blast the top of the rock to allow the construction of the lighthouse's foundation." ~ Wikipedia<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
"<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Whiskey Creek hatchery was developed by volunteers to enhance
fishing on the Oregon coastal rivers, streams and ocean.
Feed the fish, enjoy the grounds and come back regularly to
monitor the growth of the salmon.
Whiskey Creek Hatchery always welcome guests and new members
to join in clipping, special kids fishing days, feeding fish and other events."</span></span></div>

The Redlinger - Corps of Engineers<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The U.S. Congress, recognizing the importance of the Columbia and
Willamette rivers to the economy of the Northwest, established the
Portland District in 1871. One of the original goals of the District was
to remove obstacles to navigation in the two rivers. Today, the
region’s commercial development is still dependent on safe passage of
sea-going ships across the bars and up the waterways. The Portland Corps
of Engineers keeps Oregon's waterways safe and navigable through
dredging sandbars and channel deepening, ensuring safe transport for
more than $18 billion in waterborne commerce."</div>

"The eruption pulled the demolition contractor away to other parts of
southwest Washington, and allowed concerned citizens to organize an
effort to save the Columbia. On July 21, 1981, the Columbia Theatre
Task Force was created to help save the venue, and although they met
with a rough start, their efforts culminated in the sale of the historic
theater to the city of Longview on December 9, 1982.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With a few ups and downs in-between, the Task Force has managed to
resurrect the old Columbia, now (in 2003) known as the Columbia Theatre
for the Performing Arts. "</div>

...Named Terrible Tilly</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Quote of the Day</b> ~ There is a song for Tilly by the "Rum Rebellion" and these are the Lyrics - Look up the performance on You Tube:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>The Tale of Terrible Tilly</i></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"I tell you now a story true, a tale of three brethren born<br />
Who lived within a lighthouse built upon a spur of stone<br />
Ten miles out to sea, life was brewed with misery<br />
When they tended Terrible Tilly back in 1943<br />
<br />
The three men had heard stories from the women who had cried<br />
How their husbands went to build the light, but many of them died<br />
Bodies swallowed by sea, such an awful tragedy<br />
And how that rock was an evil place the living should not be<br />
<br />
CHORUS:<br />
And the waves were crashing round them through the belly of the storm<br />
With the water rising on all sides they were praying for the morn<br />
The spirits and the wind were wailing up a ghostly song<br />
As they tended to the light, but kept on wishing for the dawn<br />
<br />
Their residence began there in November of the year<br />
And soon they came to know that they had very much to fear<br />
Ghosts would haunt them in their dreams, terror frozen in their screams<br />
While the days were growing darker and the rain came down in streams<br />
<br />
It took the three a fortnight to believe that the place was cursed<br />
And with winter fast approaching, they got ready for the worst<br />
With a tempest beating down, would they live or would they drown<br />
And would their souls be trapped forever and their corpses never found<br />
<br />
When the devil wants a dance with you, you dance ‘til the music stops<br />
But the three went out into the storm and left that cursed rock<br />
Soon they sunk beneath the waves, crushing black became their graves<br />
And the light of Terrible Tilly, it was never lit again"</div>
