Post by: one-eyed Ross on July 17, 2011, 08:21:50 AM: The salmon berries, salal and black berries are just busting out all over here... Of course, I'm in Ryderwood area, (530) so there don't seem to be a lot of bear taken down here. That has always puzzled me, unless it is just because of access issues.
