Reply to can anyone tell me what these are? there is a large amount of gravel inside the barn and nothing else on the property by Ok_Woodpecker_3625
Washington state department of transportation uses these structures to store material that they put on road surfaces during snow storms.

Usually any car will do, as long as the road gets plowed, although some vehicles handle better than others in deep snow. You may have to dig your vehicle and driveway out with a shovel, but generally the county and state roads get plowed reliably and you can just drive a normal car on them. People use snow shovels, snowblowers, tractors, or hire private plow trucks to clear their driveways. Chains are nice to have for driving during storms or on ice or on snow covered pavement, but might not be necessary depending on the vehicle and tires.
Source: I live in rural Okanogan county, I think there’s been around 55” of snow at my house so far this season.

I’m guessing no one will be leaving home unarmed for a few months.

Not just carelessly shooting either. Literally shooting a guy dead, seeing the body, then not calling for help or reporting it.

News flash: some people drink and don’t do stupid things! It is not the alcohol. The responsibility lies with the drinker and only the drinker. Alcohol is never an excuse.

You could contact the ranger station, or if you have Facebook you can try the Washington hikers and climbers group.

Yes, much of the BLM and USFS land is leased to private ranchers for grazing. It’s normal for the herds to be many miles away from the ranchers land. It can take days just to gather the whole herd, there’s no way to herd them all each night and put them inside a structure.

Naturally occurring pure, metallic titanium (native titanium) is so rare on earth that i don’t think it was discovered until the last century or something. AFAIK it’s only in little chunks that are smaller than a millimeter and only in a few rare places. Maybe that’s the source of the confusion?

Reply to comment by RippingLegos in Lake Evergreen is frozen fully and we found people ice-fishing out past the fork today, we did walk out a ways and also picked up some garbage along the shoreline and ramp. by RippingLegos
I icefish and I didn’t know there were any lakes that icefishing was illegal. Is it just that all fishing is illegal at this particular lake?
