Noble effort cowlitz but have you considered spreading the word beyond this board? Yes, we all need/should do our part but you have the knowledge base and are the best versed on the issue.

What about a well-worded, not-to-lengthy letter to the outdoor writers of The Columbian, Seattle Times, Seattle-PI, Tacoma News Tribune, The Oregonian and The Daily Olympian since most of the cowlitz crowd are from these regions?

I hate to be a pessimists but it sounds like minds have been made up and the damage done. What really haunts me is all those cowlitz regulars will now be heading to the coast........heck,it's already happening.

Very sad. I always enjoyed catching those cowlitz summer-runs.
