The snow covering the lake had that crispy look, with the tire tracks and footprints stamped in it hard-edged and distinct. The bright sun that was shining through the wispy clouds overhead hadn’t yet done much to soften it and the sharp shadows it cast just added to the stark coldness of the scene.

But looks can be, especially in this case, a bit deceiving. When I’d left the city an hour before, it had been about -18 C. Here at Ghost Lake it was now right around -5 C. Not exactly balmy, I know. But it was a lot warmer than it looked.

Like a sapling left standing after a clearcut, the public lands of Southwest Washington are slowly growing one ring at a time.
Recently, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife confirmed that 6,557 acres of Weyerhaeuser timberlands have been opened to the public through their private lands access program.
Those acres are located primarily in the Cascade foothills south of Mount St. Helens and on the east side of Interstate 5. One of the four parcels is located just southeast of Yale Reservoir along the Clark/Skamania county line. Other parcels are located in Game Management Units 568 (Washougal), 572 (Siouxon), and 568 (South Clark County). In those areas, access permits will no longer be required for visitors but the use of motorized vehicles is still prohibited.
