  1. Comments and preferences regarding the 3 proposed alternatives are to received by the Prineville BLM office no later than September 15th.

    Personally, I lean towards alternative 1 with some parts of 2 thrown in like trail relocation.

  2.  

    Did you receive a letter because you're an adjacent landowner?

    What? No. I commented during the, uh, comment phase. I just received notification from the Prineville office of the publication of the EA as did everyone else that requested such.

  3. Many of y'all probably have received or soon will a nifty letter pointing to the Environmental Assessment. Check it out in the Documents Currently Under Public Review:

    I wish I knew more about eagles and their breeding success. What I have learned is that Golden Eagle breeding success is correlated to food resource availability and weather. The first Oregon survey of Golden Eagles was done in 2011 and noted a decline in the center of the state. Though the survey was intended to be a baseline from which subsequent studies could springboard. What does it all mean?

    It strikes me that the pair of Golden Eagles that nest at Trout Lake are garnering a lot of BLM resources.

     

  4. The average deaths from rock climbing over the past 50 years is 25 deaths per year.

    That number comes from stats compiled by the American Alpine Club. Weather caused fatalities are not necessarily included. Is canyoneering, backcountry skiing, or trail hiking a type of "climbing"? The ANAM average represents a low baseline number IMO. Something like 8people/year get killed by lightning each year in Teton NP alone.
