- The Mudflow Unit is located along the North Fork Toutle River adjacent to the Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. This unit is closed to public access from Dec. 1 through Apr. 30. Extensive efforts have been made to improve elk winter forage, including constructing erosion control structures, weed control, and vegetation plantings. This unit is part of the Mudflow elk area, which allows elk hunting by special permit only; all other hunting is restricted on the area. The unit was established in 1990 to protect elk winter range on the North Fork Toutle River mudflow that resulted from the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens.
- Down and Out in Paris and London (Wikipedia)
Down and Out in Paris and London is the first full-length work by the English author George Orwell, published in 1933. It is a memoir in two parts on the theme of poverty in the two cities. Its target audience was the middle- and upper-class members of society—those who were more likely to be well educated—and it exposes the poverty existing in two prosperous cities: Paris and London. The first part is an account of living in near-extreme poverty and destitution in Paris and the experience of casual labour in restaurant kitchens. The second part is a travelogue of life on the road in and around London from the tramp’s perspective, with descriptions of the types of hostel accommodation available and some of the characters to be found living on the margins.
- Mount Saint Helens Wildlife Area (wdfw.wa.gov)
The Mount St. Helens Wildlife Area is comprised of units that span Skamania, Clark, Cowlitz, and Wahkiakum counties, and totals approximately 10,500 acres of land. Habitat include tidal mudflats, wetlands, riparian, old-growth forest,forested floodplains, early seral mixed forest, ancient lava flows and volcanic deposits, and open grasslands. The units receive the most attention from a wildlife management perspective and provide some of the most critical winter range habitat for a portion of the Mount St. Helens Elk Herd. Many of the units support salmonid rearing and spawning habitat for threatened or endangered fish species.
