SEATTLE – A high-powered group of conservationists wants to expand the North Cascades National Park in Washington to include more than 200,000 acres of federal land left off the original proposal.
The Seattle Times reported they’ll face formidable political challenges. Battles to get Congress to expand parks and wilderness areas usually take years and are often opposed by those who fear new restrictions on recreational use or development.
Former U.S. Senator Dan Evans said protection is needed more than ever as the state’s population grows.
Part of the goal of the expansion plan is to increase park visitation by bringing the park’s boundaries down to Highway 20 and adding about $23 million in new amenities.
The park in north-central Washington was created in 1968. It’s one of the least-visited national parks in the country.
Tropical fish caught off Oregon coast
SALEM, Ore. – Off of Florida they’re called dolphinfish. Off of Mexico they’re known as dorado. When caught off Hawaii, they’re mahi-mahi.
Off of Oregon? It’s known as, well, weird.
John Boyer, of Salem, was at the helm of the Myrtle Bee on Thursday about 45 miles out of Depoe Bay, slow trolling for albacore tuna en route to his home berth in Newport after fishing the Oregon Tuna Classic tournament Friday and Saturday out of Garibaldi.
Something slapped the blue Eat Me Lures cedar plug on the rod of Boyer’s daughter, Cindy.
“We were like ‘fish on’ and reeling up all of the reels,” she said, “and I go ‘Dad, that fish just jumped.’ ”
Tuna almost never come out of the water.
“And he was like, ‘What?’ And then it jumped again,” Cindy said.
From fishing off of Baja, she knew just was it was: a tropical species known there as a dorado.
Boyer managed to gaff it and get it on board, about a 14-pounder.
It was a stunner for him.
“Never,” he said about a dorado being caught that close to shore. “I’ve heard of a couple being caught farther off, but this is a first for me.”
“A couple people said, ‘What’s that?’ ” Cindy said with a laugh, then added about the photos, “People don’t even believe me. They’re like ‘Oh, you Photoshopped that.’ ”
Hard to barbecue a photo, though.
Which is what the Boyers did on Friday night.
