5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, AUGUST 14, 2018 Hipcamp: Campers can rent three separate areas at Rose Creek Retreat Trek: TV executive’s goal is to set foot in every state Continued from Page 1A make it in a run-down apart- ment. Travel was a luxury or seen as a waste of money.” Her first overseas trip was to Mexico with her sister, Danielle. It opened her eyes to the value of experienc- ing new locales. A later, sev- en-country solo trip to Africa whetted her appetite for more memorable adventures. “I decided to think more about life goals than career goals,” said Jerahian. “I dived with white sharks, saw the gorillas in Rwanda and took a hot-air balloon ride over the Serengeti,” she recalled. Her current trip, which began in June, will be chronicled on her blog, www.ladywitha- passport.com She first flew to Alaska for mountain climbing train- ing before returning home to Los Angeles to pack her car and set off north. After Cali- fornia, she enjoyed Oregon’s spectacular scenery around Crater Lake before cross- ing into Washington. “I have chosen to do fewer things, but spend more time in each place,” she said. “I am com- fortable being alone, coming out of my comfort zone.” Her selection of the Long Beach Peninsula followed positive contacts during five months of planning when Farther up the hill and hid- den in the woods are more campsites set out along a small creek winding down to the river. A short hike takes campers to a private tepee- like lean-to. Amid the ferns, firs and alder around the camp- grounds are all types of edible plants, including several types of berries. “It’s a forest garden of edi- bles,” Mertz said. Most of the money made from campers goes back into restoring the land, and the 10 percent fee taken by Hipcamp covers advertising the camp- ground to visitors from around the world, Mertz said. Along with fees to Hipcamp, the campground pays local lodg- ing taxes. Hipcamp now includes more than 3,500 private camp- sites, cabins, RVs, trailers, tree houses, yurts and other rentals covering roughly 7,000 acres of private land. Alicia Sprague, in Clatsop County’s taxation department, said staff have so far reached out to two campsites advertis- ing through Hipcamp to collect the quarterly lodging taxes. Both of Clatsop County’s sites are located on farms near Elsie along U.S. Highway 26.

The proceeds from one sup- ports Veganville, a nonprofit animal sanctuary. Operators like Mertz are optimistic about what sites like Hipcamp can do to pro- mote tourism in often econom- ically depressed rural areas. Western Wahkiakum County had largely been written off economically since cannery towns along the Columbia dis- appeared, but now the region is drawing people through its proximity to water and wild- life, he said. “It’s like an ecotourism renaissance,” he said. Sol Mertz, a camp host at the Rose Creek Retreat, shows off one of the more than 30 varieties of roses planted throughout the private campground. Continued from Page 1A she linked up with Carol Zahorsky, who promotes the area with regional media. “She was so nice to deal with and provided me with so much information,” said Jerahian, who hiked around Cape Disappoint- ment, enjoyed Waikiki and Long Beach, visited the Kite Museum and dined at Pick- led Fish. “It’s been great here,” she said during a stop for tea at Abbracci in downtown Long Beach. “Everybody knows each other.” Checking off 50 states, ending in Hawaii, will take her until mid-February. The international part is esti- mated to take 2 1/2 years. She is mindful that seven summits will be taxing. “I am 34 not 22, but it will be a chance to push myself to new things,” she said. “It makes me a better, well- rounded person, experienc- ing nature and culture. In some ways, this is real life — you have no control over it.” While the itinerary is planned — somewhat — its informality and flexibility suits her. “It is exciting to meet people and new situations,” Jerahian said, describing her grassroots approach. “It’s not about a selfie of me on the rooftop of a fancy hotel.” Timber: Last easy-to-access harvest is going on this summer Continued from Page 1A Hampton will continue work in the watershed for the next three to five weeks, depending on the weather. The areas the company is working in will be reforested. Hampton is thinning the site heavily and the city plans to mix in cedar seedlings. “The highest-value tree we can grow here,” said Ben Hayes, the city’s consult- ing forester. The city has faced issues of low availability when it comes to finding seedlings to replant harvested areas. This year, Hayes sourced seedlings from Silvaseed Co., a conifer seed company and nursery that has sold young trees to Astoria for many years. Right now, logging prices are up, said Mike Gerdes, who handles seed and seedling sales for Silvaseed. It’s good news for cities and companies look- ing to sell, but it also means demand for seedlings is high. At the same time, Gerdes has seen a number of coni- fer nurseries go out of busi- ness, putting more pres- sure on the nursery spaces that remain even as there is a higher demand for space to rear seedlings. The Christmas tree mar- ket has also rebounded after a long slump. Tree prices are up and people are getting back to planting Christmas tree farms in response. In some cases, large timber companies like Weyerhaeuser have taken on more land and nursery space they used to be able to spare for outside production. On top of all of this, Gerdes said, “There hasn’t been the greatest cone crops the last eight or 10 years on a consis- tent basis.” And: “We’ve had at least three above-average tempera- ture summers, very dry, and so the seedlings that were planted the last three or four months, there’s been a significant amount of mortality out there whether it’s in the woods or on (tree farms),” he said. Timber and tree farm busi- nesses might have had to go back out and replant two or three times, another source of pressure on nurseries. Astoria sources seedlings from a variety of companies, but the city’s requests to Sil- vaseed tend to be for 10,000 to 20,000 young trees at a time, Gerdes said. The request is small compared to the 8 to 9 million seedlings Gerdes will have in production each year. “As a general rule, if they get in early enough, I can sup- ply those things,” he said. “But you need to shop early.” SCHEDULE THE DAILY ASTORIAN T UESDAY E VENING A (2) (-) (-) (6) (-) (8) (9) (10) (12) (13) (-) (20) (-) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) L KATU KOMO KING KOIN KIRO KGW KRCW KOPB KPTV KPDX KCPQ TBS KZJO ESPN ESPN2 NICK DISN FAM FMC LIFE ROOT FS1 SPIKE COM HIST A&E TLC DISC NGEO TNT AMC USA FOOD HGTV FX CNN FNC CNBC BRAV TCM SYFY RFD (2) (4) (5) (-) (7) (-) (3) (10) (12) (-) (13) (20) (22) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) 6 PM Colin Murphey/The Daily Astorian The timber harvest at the Bear Creek watershed is on a 50-acre site consisting mainly of spruce.
