I was exposed to the elements of fishing and hunting at an early age. “Hey let’s go salmon fishing!” They said. “It will be fun!” They said... Sitting in a boat, rocking in the waves, with temperatures

Neither my brother nor I were feeling ambitious the last day of my visit, so, rather than climb up Beacon Rock, we walked along a paved path below Beacon Rock, close to the Columbia River. This area was
