2014 NW FHF Member Trips

Post by TravisK »

Hey guys, we need to get more ideas on trip locations so I can start a thread and a poll with the top two picks being where we go. Please list some thoughts for a 2-4 day outing.


So far we have...

*Yakima River, Umptanum, Ellensburg
*Snake River area OR/ID border
*Central WA, Vantage, Hanford (personally I have organized trips in this area for the last two years so it's not high on my list)
*WA/OR Columbia River Gorge

I would like other peoples input so throw out some ideas, even if you don't think you can make it. FYI, I am itching for spring! As I am typing this I am looking out my office windows to heavy snowfall... sigh

Ha - give it a little time Travis. Since people don't post on this forum every day, most people aren't going to check it every day. (That's a reason to post more field pictures posts, even if they're old ones, as long as they're interesting.)

I voted "no" because I don't expect to be in America in 2014. But that could change, and if it does, I will likely want to attend a trip and will let you guys know about it.

Here's some eye candy from this week - my best ever in India:

Yakima R./Umtanum just because I won't have to drive so damned far and if the critters stay home there is fishing/hiking/beer/floating in no particular order.

The Columbia Gorge because there are so many possible side trips/niches & because I'd like to photograph some caudates I haven't seen before(and get some better shots of Dicamptodons)

Ya know me, Travis...herps < inverts (blasphemy!) so my opinion is meh. I'm in just for the company, travel, photo ops & nerdery.

Anyone ever play down by the Lewis River/Mt. Adams area? For some reason it keeps catching my eye...

Edit: I hope I didn't seem dismissive toward herps...on the contrary...what y'all do here with data collection is fantastic, above and beyond the recreational aspect of "seeing what's out there in the field". I need to stop procrastinating, look through the photo archives and post some finds.
