W.V. "Mac" McConnell writes from Florida. He is a U.S. Forest Service retiree whose Power Point presentations have appeared on our website many times. His latest efforts are nearby: an updated version of his earlier "Timber Resource Management" Power Point and a fascinating photograph, "One Landscape: Four Views," that shows what is happening on adjacent public and private forests at Deep Creek, near Townsend, Montana.

![America The Beautiful - If you enjoy fly-fishing for steelhead [who wouldn't], southern Oregon's Rogue River is a great place to limber up your rod. Here I am (Jim Petersen) on an overcast morning in the early spring sometime in the early 1990s. I rarely keep fish, but on this day I wanted to bake on for dinner. That's Rick Miranda behind me - beyond doubt one of the best guides on the river and a spectacular fly-tier. Who would ever guess that Mr. Miranda is also one of the most skilled loggers in southern Oregon. I am sorry to say that I lost track of him nearly a decade ago.](http://lh5.ggpht.com/-SxKhvXKZtok/Scj6EPeEYDI/AAAAAAAAApg/d5D391pN9Jw/s640/09240012.JPG "America The Beautiful - If you enjoy fly-fishing for steelhead [who wouldn't], southern Oregon's Rogue River is a great place to limber up your rod.
