Boggan's Oasis Burns Down

Dang! Just read the news about Boggan's Oasis on the Grande Ronde in Washington State. As you can see, it burned to the ground last month.


I was fortunate to spend some happy hours there with my brother back in 2013.


The world seems like a sadder place knowing that this landmark right on the banks of the Ronde is no longer there to welcome steelheaders after the 13 mile descent of Rattlesnake Grade. 

But that community of steelheaders and others have launched a GoFundMe campaign to help the owners, Bill and Farrel Vail, who lost everything, get back on their feet.

  1. It's amazing how much people are willing to help in disasters like this one, Santa Rosa, and I'm sure we'll be seeing it in LA.
