June 25, 2009, 3:14AM

April 05, 2009, 4:06AM
The Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument was created by proclamation in the waning days of the Clinton administration in 2000. It was left for a future Congress to better protect it.

I have never been in the Copper Salmon Wilderness Area. It is a bit further east than I've gone into this part of the Siskiyou Mountains, just north of Port Orford on the southern Oregon coast.
