    "Son, your gonna drive me to drinkin' if you don't stop driving that darned red Lincoln"

     

    Have you heard the story of the drift boat race,

     

    Where the Clackas and Hydes were settin' the pace?

     

    Well, the sad story is true I'm here to say,

     

    I was really in the way, on that sunny day.

     

    That Lincoln's got a chip and a can, it's really souped up,

     

    That Hyde towing behind makes it look like a pup.

     

    It's got eight rod holders and I use 'em all

     

    I rig 'em in the launch, and to hell with you all.

     

    Pulled into Police one morning, parking was tight,

     

    The sun and sky shining bright.

     

    Drove my rig down that hill,

     

    Passing Clackas and GMC's, like they were standing still.

     

    Now the fella's ribbed me for they were now behind,

     

    I'm in the launch area, no hurry to unwind.

     

    Now one guide thought I'd lost my sense,

     

    slipped by me, slick as a new fence.

     

    Can't have that boys, I got in his face,

     

    Next thing I know things are blurry, I'm in the wrong place.

     

    Next time I'll know,

     

    Don't pick a fight with a man who lives to row.

     

    Got home early, with a black eye,

     

    Momma thought for sure, I'd been into the rye.

    I think it's really good, many websites are over the top and have complex expanding dropdowns, confusing graphics, and are generally 'overblown'......

     

    IMHO yours is exactly what a website should be, direct, simple to navigate, and gets Deb's message out.

     

    I would suggest, that in Deb's profession, a potential client would appreciate these things......

     

    The stepping stones are a perfect graphic as well, very appro and subtle...

    Your probably right about being in the 5000 pictures, and all those flies are now on display on living room trinket shelves from Tokyo to Osaka.

     

    You created a untold number of memories Doc, good for you!

     

    Amazing scenery...been driving by the turn off for years, now I must visit!

    Was at Police Sunday morning at 730. The launch is functional and safe.

     

    Saw a couple rigs parked by the road w/empty trailers at that time. It was good to see them there!

     

    We walked and waded (tight tight to that bank whoa ninja style), saw new water and saw fish, many stone schucks, saw live stones too, no caddis.

     

    Saw the shuttle people doing their thing at 1100 when we left, and that felt good too!

    In 1980 both the South and North Forks of the Toutle River were destroyed by Mount St Helens. At the time, both fisheries people and fisherman saw the devastation and said that the rivers would not recover in their lifetimes.

     

    Based on what the pictures and newreel footage showed, no one disputed this.

     

    Yet, the South Fork did recover within a few years, and the North Fork (later) as well. Spirit Lake did too, as early as 1983 there was life in the lake.

     

    Not to pre 1980 levels, but the fish did come back to the streams.

     

    Hard work by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to control silt and water levels helped, as did the efforts of wildlife groups and other state angencies working hard along side.

     

    Anyway, our river is hurt, but it will recover too. Some may be surprised how fast.

     

    Nature finds a way.....
