Snake River

The Snake River rises near the continental divide in Yellowstone National Park. The Snake River leaves Idaho through the Palisades Reservoir. When the Snake reaches Oregon it starts to flow north. This creates the border of Oregon and Idaho for 216 miles. The Snake River flows west and feeds into the Columbia River near Pasco, WA. Throughout the river there are steamboats going through the river, and railroads were built along the side. There is always a bunch of salmon coming through the Snake River, making it a great place to go fishing. Over 11,000 years ago many Native American and Indian tribes inhabited the banks of the Snake River. The tribe that was known for naming the Snake was the Shoshone Indians otherwise known as…

Many people believe that Eastern Oregon is void of beauty. The mountains are bare and the air is dry. However, if these folks would follow me to the Snake River for a fishing trip, I think they’d change their minds. If they were to join me on the river, they’d hear the sound of motor boats traveling up the water, and they’d smell the engine exhaust and hear the laughter of the fishermen. They’d be able to look across the river to the Idaho side and see a white pick-up truck parked in…

What makes an animal good? Is it their benefit to the ecosystem, their evolved skills, or how nice they are to look at? In all three categories the victor may be surprising. Snakes. Snakes are amazing, talented, and gorgeous. Their ecologic benefits are rooted in their prey, as I’m sure you know, snakes eat mice and rats. If snakes were less talented they wouldn’t be able to catch the rats, or even the harmful insects they keep at bay. Then the prey would multiply and eat until its food source…

The Black River is a pretty small river in comparison to the Kaskaskia or the Meramec. The river is in Missouri and is about a two hour drive from our houses in Fayetteville. It has crystal clear water and when we went it was very shallow. There were only a few deep spots near where we were at. Getting back on track, Logan invited me and our group…
