I've been following this story. It is far from clear who put those spikes there. Anybody, from someone who wants rafters off the water in lieu of steelhead fishers, to an eco terrorist, to some random nut job, could have done this. It is premature to conclude who did it. This is out of character for the Earthfirst, etc., set. Their actions are much more focused. In any case, the spikes will soon be removed as low water continues to plague the Northwest ... we are in drought mode ... they will be fully exposed and easy to spot. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
