Mt. Hood Wild Spring Chinook Salmon Controvercy
As we know on Mt. Hood, "it's all about the fish". There's recent controversy over the wild and hatchery fish coming up stream after the removal of the Marmot Dam in 2007 (see video)
and their spawning grounds intermingling. These spawning grounds would be in our local Zig Zag River and Sandy River. The Sandy River Hatchery recently received approval from the Feds to run their program. I am by no means an expert on fish. I do my fishing at the local Trout Farm. Here is a recent article explaining the issues.

September Mountain Sales Were Slightly Down
Here are the numbers straight from multiple listing service of sales for September 2012. Although slightly down with eleven closed sales, this had been a banner year for the highest "number of sales" in nearly 5 years! After sales increase in numbers we will eventually have some price stabilization.
It's still a buyer's market for the mountain with all residence, including condos and manufactured homes hitting a 13.4 months worth of inventory. It's the perfect time to get that second home in the Cascades!
