The bulk of the California sea lions left by May 30, but one remains, the report says. During the period there were an average of 37.5 sea lions in the dam's tailrace per day. Most were Stel...
The heat didn't keep 72 people from all over the northwest from competing at the Raven's Run disc golf tournament at the Inn at Lucky Mud in Skamokawa last weekend.

"This is quite a subculture," said one disc golfer from Castle Rock. He admitted that he played the game as much as he could in his spare time. More tournaments are planned. Photos by...
NOT QUITE SO GOOD--The really warm, super nice, really good weekend that was supposed to have taken place over Father's Day weekend, didn't quite turn out the way they first predicted it would, at least not here. Go figure! However, after some rain on Saturday, and after some more clouds and drizzle on Sunday morning, we did have the sun come out in the afternoon and things got warm and steamy/muggy, which is what we get after the sun hits all the wetness around here. Supposedly this week is going to be dry and down right hot by the end of the...
Made a quick trip to California over the weekend to get my granddaughters home for Father’s Day. We left here at 4 a.m. on Friday morning and it was raining, arriving in Stockton at about 4:30 p.m. to excruciating heat. More heat the next day, and I left at 4 a.m. on Sunday morning to escape the 110 degrees slated for that day. Made it home in less than 11 hours to our beautiful weather.

A week ago my house became filled with laughter and fun after the arrival of three of my teen granddaughters. We have been to the beach, to the Astoria Column, shopping, hiking, hot-tubbing and just plain being lazy. I needed this, and to top it off, now my niece and her daughter have arrived. This is heaven with the young giggles and music in the car and in the house. Such fun. I didn’t plan too well for the two-week visit with the granddaughters as it cut into the Father’s Day weekend. So I will make a quick trip to California on Friday to...
