Some of my newest neighbors and older faith or even other fatefuls might not know of the treasure trove of very close, scenic areas of wonderful clark, skamania, and cowlitz counties have to offer.

Many of the regulars might know of Merwin, Swift and Yale dams on the upper reaches of the Lewis River. But do you know about the upper falls and middle falls of this mighty little river?

The river starts near Mount Adams, flows around Skamania until it sets through the three power generations plants of Pacific Power and Light, then makes the run for the Clark and Cowlitz county lines until she finally empties into a tributary with the Columbia River on its final turn westward push towards the Pacific Ocean.

If you would like to see more of the wonderful pictures and may be take a spring or summer visit to this wonderful paradise, please look here for some wonderful pictures.

C-tran board meeting of November 2008

Those that may not be aware (and is being tabled for next meeting in the first or second week of December) a fare increase of both CVAN and RYDS (or some combination of youth, low income, seniors and others.)

Before the December meeting, they will be holding a informational session to hash out more numbers that they have asked Jeff Hamm and c-tran executives to produce for them.

You may contact them through the C-tran web site: http://www.c-tran.com.  Or you can watch the video (**WARNING** its near three hours long, so this video is not for the faintest of heart.) off the cvtv web site:
