MARX Seaside Signal From the mountains to the sea on a bicycle — that’s the goal of volunteers who came together for the “Big Dig” work party at Klootchy Creek Park on Saturday, April 13. A steady downpour failed to dampen support from vol- unteers of the North Coast Trail Alliance, which aims to develop mountain bike trails from the top of Twin Peaks down to the park entrance on U.S. Highway 26. Nell Stamper, of Asto- ria, checked volunteers in at base camp. Stamper has been involved with the project since plans were fi rst con- ceived 18 months ago. “It’s raining today and cold and damp and drizzly, and we have a great turn- out of people coming from all over the place: Portland, local, and all the way down the coast,” Stamper said. After its inception in 2015, the North Coast Trail Alliance quickly saw suc- cess with Seaside’s approval of the Cartwright Park pump track, all with the labor and support of volunteers. Since then, they affi li- ated as a subchapter with the Northwest Trail Alliance and the International Moun- tain Biking Association. In late September, the North Coast Trail Alliance began clearing out future riding areas on Lewis & Clark Timberlands north of Klootchy Creek County Park, 6 miles of downhill, single-track trail to start, with a goal of expanding to 40 connected miles over the next few years. Clatsop County initiated upgrades at the parking lot and access to the trails. Local forestry giant GreenWood Resources pro- vided access and help “at every stage,” said organizer Steven Blakesley of Arch Cape. The cyclists’ goal will be to reach the top of Twin By KATIE FRANKOWICZ The Daily Astorian Razor clamming is open again on the North Coast. Unsafe levels of the marine toxin domoic acid in razor clam meat closed Clatsop County beaches to harvest in early March. Now recent shellfi sh sam- ples indicate the toxin lev- els have fallen below the closure limit, according to information released by the Oregon Department of Agri- culture on Friday. Recreational razor clam- ming is now open in Oregon from the Columbia River to Cape Blanco, north of Port Orford. Stormy weather kept most people inside Saturday, but around a dozen people could be seen braving the surf and occasional rainfall near the South Jetty on Sun- nn day afternoon during low tide. “Today is pretty stormy, but we live here and we know: Don’t turn your back on the ocean,” said Jeri John- son of Svensen, who was out on the beach with her fam- ily, coat zipped to her throat and hood up against the rain. “We’re just glad it’s open again.” Her husband was a dis- tant fi gure, wading in knee- deep water. Johnson and oth- ers who had come without their waders hung back and watched the waves. They darted out when the outgo- ing tide exposed more of the sandbar and then raced the waves back to keep from getting soaked. There was, in the words of one clammer who had only managed to dig a few small clams in between wave pulses, “just too much ocean today.” State fi shery managers struggled to secure the sam- ples that made the opening possible. Bad weather made it diffi cult, even at low tide, to access the sandbars in Clatsop Beach. Matt Hunter, the state shellfi sh project leader, preferred to pull a sample there since those areas are where the major- ity of people look for razor clams. Most of the razor clams harvested in the state come from the highly productive beds in the Clatsop Beach and Sunset Beach areas. The 18-mile stretch of beach includes South Jetty and Fort Stevens State Park. These beaches had already experienced an unusual extended closure to give small razor clams more time to grow. The harvest opened briefl y at the begin- ning of March before being shut down due to domoic acid.

Roosevelt: Fire Department Peaks at an elevation of between 1,500 and 1,600 feet, “where you can see the whole coastline up to the north,” Chris Quackenbush, the operations director, said. Future plans envision a network of trails from Twin Peaks down into Seaside. The trails could empty out near the new school campus in the Southeast Hills.

The hardest paths will be at the top of the mountain, he added, with an intermedi- ate trail in the middle and a beginner trail at the bottom to the parking lot. Forester David Dough- erty, of GreenWood Resources, joined volun- teers with shovels, chain- saws and brush cutters. “We’re working together to make sure we meet a cer- tain set of standards, reduc- ing sedimentation, trying to keep everything in its natu- ral form to last and be sus- tainable, to have a good col- laborative process,” he said. The Northwest Trail Alli- ance, based in Portland, pro- vides insurance and acts as the North Coast Trail Alli- ance’s fi scal agent. Northwest Trail Alli- ance president Bob Lessard described the enthusiasm for the new trails. “People in Portland are incredibly excited about this,” Lessard said. “There’s nowhere else that I know of in Oregon where you can ride and see the ocean.” Razor clamming reopens on North Coast Help Clothe Kids!!
