hills, Coast Range and Oregon Coast — are open. But
it’s always a roll of the dice in the higher-elevations in
late May, said Heather Isben with Mount Hood Nation-
al Forest.
Historically, it was common for snowpack to linger
deep into Oregon’s summer. But recent warm and dry
springs have led to camping opening much sooner
than in the past.
“We look at a mix of public expectations and aver-
age weather patterns for opening campgrounds,” Is-
ben said. “Every year we do our best to pick a good pro-
jected open date — we don’t plan to open in March, for
example. But sometimes we have delays like this year,
because you need time to do all the things a camp-
ground needs from repairs to hiring staff.”

Actually, this is my
fifth or sixth attempt at
writing a last column dur-
ing the course of two
weeks.
I’ve done drafts of “ca-
reer in review,” “high-
lights and lowlights,” and
other roundup-style for-
mats.
I finally came to the
conclusion that those
who have read me over
the decades know all
about it, warts and all.
And those who haven’t
read the articles and col-
umns won’t have a clue
what I’m yammering
about.
Doing the math, and
deducting a year for the
time between retirement
1.0 on Oct. 30, 2015, and
return to part-time active
duty in 2016, it adds up to
about 1,300 weekly out-
door columns.
The late Hall of Famer
Ted “the Splendid Splin-
ter” Williams once said
that “baseball is the only
field of endeavor where a
man can succeed three
times out of 10 and be
considered a good per-
former.”
I’m hoping that forgiv-
ing readers will give me
the same leeway.
An ink-stained wretch
All-in-all, it’s been a
pretty sweet ride.
My dad used to say
that the best thing about
teaching is the job was
different every day.
That analogy applies
in spades to being among
what used to be referred

to as the “ink-stained
wretches” of the press
corps.
The ink stains are gone
in the digital age, as are
the darkrooms, enlargers
and chemical baths for
film.
But the people, both in
the press corps and
among the public, remain
largely the same.
The former are still a
dedicated cadre of truth-
tellers and fact-checkers.
The largest humiliation
coming when you have to
write a correction or, god
help you, a retraction.
Like being a scientist,
which was my first ambi-
tion in college, the truth
matters above all else for
print journalists.
Truth be told, the
greatest joy in my career
as a column-writer was
making someone famous,
however briefly.
There have been times
when a laminated article
in a frame about a big
fish, an accomplishment,
or even a restaurant re-
view, is displayed on the
wall of a sporting goods
store, a home, or a hot dog
emporium with my byline
on it.
All treasured McNug-
gets of a personal history.
When it comes to a
reason for being, it
doesn’t get better than
that.
When starting out at a
small weekly – we used to
say, tongue in cheek, that
we “published weakly” –
there was a mantra
among the three-person
writing staff: “Why the
hell would anyone want
to read this?”
Making it personal,
making it interesting,
simply making it worth

reading became the cre-
do.
And that’s always
been the goal.
Like the Splendid
Splinter, the hope is that
the columns and the arti-
cles measured up a good
portion of the time.
Everyone has a story to
tell.
And if you dig hard
enough, almost all of
them are worth telling if
you do it in a compelling
way.
Column No. 1
If I may be allowed a
digression, I’d like to tell
you about the first out-
door column that I ever
wrote at that little weekly
in Southern California al-
most a half-century ago.
It was a story about a
motley group of retirees
who gathered most days
to tell lies and fish, mostly
in vain, for halibut off the
Goleta Pier.
The central character
in the piece was Louie, a
retired railroad worker
from Louisiana, which he
called Looooz-E-anna in
his shoofly pie-thick
Southern drawl.
Thinking back, he also
referred to the fish that he
was pursuing as “hali-
buth.”
I digress.
Post-retirement, Louie
had been coaxed to move
to Goleta by his son who
worked at the University
of California at Santa Bar-
bara.
Reader reviews about
the inaugural column
were mixed.
Crickets from the
readers, and near tears of
gratitude from Louie for
the acknowledgment that
his life and experiences
were a story worth telling.
That intimate, per-
sonal Studs Terkel-like
experience of telling ev-
eryman’s story has kept
me hooked on doing it
ever since.
Thanks, Louie.
And thanks to you all
for the memories.
As I said, it’s been a
sweet ride.
THOUGHT FOR THE
WEEK: Live your life as if
someone is going to write
about it, and your mother
gets to edit the draft.
