fWotD Episode 2890: Big Butte Creek Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 3 April 2025 is Big Butte Creek.Big Butte Creek is a 12-mile-long (19 km) tributary of the Rogue River in the U. S. state of Oregon. It drains approximately 245 square miles (635 km2) of Jackson County. Its two forks, the North Fork and the South Fork, both begin high in the Cascade Range near Mount McLoughlin. Flowing predominantly west, they meet near the city of Butte Falls. The main stem flows generally northwest until it empties into the Rogue River near McLeod, about one mile southwest of William L. Jess Dam and Lost Creek Lake.Big Butte Creek's watershed was originally settled over 8,000 years ago by the Klamath, Upper Umpqua, and Takelma tribes of Native Americans. In the Rogue River Wars of the 1850s, most of the Native Americans were either killed or forced onto Indian reservations. The first non-indigenous settlers arrived in the 1860s, naming the creek after Snowy Butte, an early name for Mount McLoughlin. In the late 19th century, the watershed was primarily used for agriculture and logging. The small city of Butte Falls was incorporated in 1911, and remains the only incorporated town within the watershed's boundaries.Big Butte Springs, located in the watershed, provides clean drinking water to more than 115,000 residents of the Rogue Valley. It emits over 26 million US gallons (98,000,000 L) of water per day. Water from Big Butte Creek is also diverted for irrigation at several other locations.The water quality of the Big Butte Creek watershed is generally high, and it supports several species of trout and salmon. The watershed is also home to more than 152 species of birds, 63 species of mammals, 19 species of reptiles, and numerous plants. The Poverty Flats region was designated an Area of Critical Environmental Concern by the Bureau of Land Management in 1995 to protect several rare species of plants.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Thursday, 3 April 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Big Butte Creek on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Stephen.
Katie Gunvalson had a calling: traverse the entirety of the 2,700 mile Pacific Crest Trail. This audacious goal was something Gunvalson's younger self would have never considered. But, it's exactly what she did. The PCT, true to its name, follows the crest of the mountain ranges between Canada and Mexico, going through Washington, Oregon, and California, along the Cascade Range, the Sierra Nevada, and the mountainous desert terrain to the US–Mexico border. And not only did Katie want to get from one end of the PCT to the other, she wanted to do it faster than any other woman ever had. She wanted to set a Fastest Known Time, an FKT, in the south bound direction. That record was set by Jessica Pekari: 63 days, 7 hours, 31 minutes. So that is what Gunvalson prepared to do, for years; and she was ready. But there was one challenge that ultimately presented itself that Gunvalson really hadn't anticipated, and it would cause her to very deeply consider the real purpose of this journey. Katie Gunvalson shares her whole epic story on the podcast. From her difficult and unlikely path to becoming a runner, to discovering and following a calling to cover the entire PCT, and the wild ride of getting from Canada to Mexico.

44 years after it's eruption, Noodles and I camp at the base of the - still active - Mount Saint Helens. We explore the tales of Harry Truman, the lodge owner who famously refused to leave despite the looming danger, and David Johnston, a devoted volcanologist committed to monitoring the volcano and saving lives. We also make a case for why this iconic volcano, nestled within the majestic Cascade Range, remains a must-see destination for nature and history lovers.

Get a sneak peek into the hidden gem that is Lassen Volcanic National Park from the superintendent herself, Roseann Worley. Lassen Volcanic National Park is sometimes referred to as "Little Yosemite." Imagine all the geothermal and natural features of Yellowstone in a more condensed and less populated space—Roseann argues Lassen Volcanic is even better ;). Lassen Volcanic is located in Northeastern California and was the 15th national park established by Congress, in 1916, the same year the National Park Service itself was founded. The park is a crossroads, featuring all four types of volcanoes and a rich biodiversity, as it lies at the intersection of the southern Cascade Range, the northern Sierra Nevada, and the Great Basin area.Listen to this episode to learn about the impact of fires on the park, the famous Benjamin Franklin (B.F.) Loomis's photos of the 1914 and 1915 eruptions, the unique ways people recreate across the seasons in Lassen Volcanic, the role Search and Rescue teams play in the park, and the old ski lift and its archaeological remains. Roseann's evident love for recreating in Lassen Volcanic shines through in our conversation, and you'll be inspired to discover this hidden gem for yourself after listening to the episode.Sponsors:Who Runs This Park is presented by ExpertVoice: Outdoor brands like Big Agnes, Mammut, La Sportiva, Chaco and more offer discounts on ExpertVoice of up to 60% off for industry experts like you.

Dame tu opinion At 8:32 a.m. PDT on May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helens, a volcanic peak in southwestern Washington, suffered a massive eruption, killing 57 people and devastating some 210 square miles of wilderness.Mount St. Helens is located in the Cascade Range and stood 9,680 feet before its eruption. The volcano has erupted periodically during the last 4,500 years, and the last active period was between 1831 and 1857. On March 20, 1980, noticeable volcanic activity began with a series of earth tremors.Small eruptions continued daily, and in April people familiar with the mountain noticed changes to the structure of its north face. The bulge was caused by an intrusion of magma below the surface, and authorities began evacuating hundreds of people from the sparsely settled area near the mountain. A few people refused to leave.On the morning of May 18, Mount St. Helens was shaken by an earthquake of about 5.0 magnitude, and the entire north side of the summit began to slide down the mountain. The giant landslide of rock and ice, one of the largest recorded in history, was followed and overtaken by an enormous explosion of steam and volcanic gases, which surged northward along the ground at high speed. Approximately 10 million trees were felled by the blast.The Mount St. Helens major eruption of May 18, 1980, remains the deadliest and most economically destructive volcanic event in U.S. history.

Carved by the once-wild Columbia River, the Columbia River Gorge is a dramatic canyon that snakes through the Cascade Range in the Pacific Northwest on its way to the Pacific Ocean. It's an area of stunning natural beauty with endless outdoor adventure options. Using the town of Hood River, Oregon, as our home base, we recently visited the gorge in search of waterfalls. (The area has nearly 100.) And being that it was spring when we were there, the waterfalls did not disappoint -- especially the famous Multnomah Falls – the most-visited single natural attraction in the Pacific Northwest. In this episode, we talk about several of the best waterfalls in the area, a couple of breathtaking trails to hike close to Hood River, a state park you won't want to miss, and some of the restaurants and breweries we visited. We also share a little history of the area.

Daniela takes us on a bizarre adventure to the stratovolcano known as Mt. Shasta at the southern end of the Cascade Range in Siskiyou County, CA. Mt. Shasta is said to be home to a hidden civilization of people called Lumerians and is said to hold mystical energies. Daniela reads experiences of people who ran into the Lumerians or their home. Daniela tells of people who went missing near the volcano. The women close the episode chatting before giving an update on the Delphi murder case.
Have any deep, dark secrets you need to purge in a safe way? Let me suggest you take a trip to the North Cascades, specifically Mount Baker. Find a clear patch of trail and shout your secrets into the crisp clear banks of this peak. She's been keeping secrets for centuries. From ghost towns to missing persons to hidden Bigfoot lairs, Mount Baker would rather erupt than reveal your secrets to a soul. But, like usual I'm getting ahead of myself. Mount Baker is also known as Koma Kulshan, or simply Kulshan. It is 10,781 feet high and an active glacier-covered andesitic stratovolcano. Mount Baker has the second-most thermally active crater in the Cascade Range after Mount St. Helens. The mountain lies about 30 miles due east of Bellingham, Washington. After Mount Rainier, Mount Baker has the heaviest glacier cover of the Cascade Range volcanoes.It's volume of snow and ice is greater than that of all the other Cascade volcanoes (except Rainier) combined.It is one of the snowiest places in the world, In fact, in 1999, Mount Baker Ski Area set the world record for recorded snowfall in a single season - which was a grand total of 1,140 inches!Mount Baker is visible from Southern Canada and as far south as Tacoma, Washington.From Kiddle - indigenous peoples have known the mountain for thousands of years, but the first written record of the peak is from Spanish explorer as Koma Kulshan or Kulshan. This means "white sentinel" or "Puncture wound" (i.e. crater) The first governor of Washington Territory, Isaac I. Stevens, wrote about Mount Baker in 1853: "Mount Baker is one of the loftiest and most conspicuous peaks of the northern Cascade range. It is nearly as high as Mount Rainier, and like that mountain, its snow-covered pyramid has the form of a sugar-loaf. It is for this region a natural and important landmark.

An exploration of evolutionary dynamics and potential futures Matthew Pirkowski experiments at the intersection of software, behavioral / evolutionary psychology, and complex adaptive systems. These interests first took root while observing and modeling the collective behavioral psychology of capuchin monkeys at Yale's Comparative Cognition Laboratory, with the goal of understanding why–and to what extent–our conceptions of “rational action” fail to describe what we observe beyond the domain of analytic abstraction. Such experiences catalyzed an interest in designing and building the interfaces through which human perception and purpose contacts the computational processes that have thoroughly saturated our lives and minds. Matthew is presently building a platform for modeling purpose-aligned human networks as naturally emergent organisms. He also consults on system architecture, advises nascent companies and communities, and writes about topics related to the evolution of human socioeconomic, technological, and representational systems–in particular the emergence and impact of cryptoeconomic protocols, as outlined in his Crypto Beyond Capitalism essay series. He spends most of his free time maintaining, regenerating, and growing food on a bit of land in the Cascade Range. He can be found as @MattPirkowski on twitter

A mountain so incredibly large that its parent peak is named none other than “Mt Massive.” Mt. Rainier, however, previously known as Tacoma, is currently considered the world's most dangerous volcano. It lies in the Cascade Range in the Pacific Northwest within Mt. Rainier National Park, just 59 miles south of Seattle. This mountain is the most topographically visible peak in the United States and stands the tallest within the Cascade Volcanic Arc.

Mt. Shasta casts a rather startling, imposing presence for those who first lay eyes upon it. Lying within the southern end of the Cascade Range in Siskiyou County, California, Mt. Shasta is a now dormant volcano which soars 14,179 feet (4,322 m) over the surrounding forested valley, making it the second highest peak of the Cascade Range and the fifth highest mountain in all of California. Since Mt. Shasta is not connected to any other surrounding nearby mountains, it stands alone, bursting abruptly and steeply from the ground like some mystical solitary giant to loom over the majestic valleys of green around it and completely dominate the landscape of Northern California. It is said that the massive, rather intimidating lone mountain can be seen from up to 140 miles (230km) away on a clear day, making it a striking natural monolith which has captured the admiration and imagination of mankind for centuries. The naturalist John Muir famously said of the spectacular mountain upon first seeing it in 1874

Released June 5th of '87, it's about a family who accidentally run into a Bigfoot. They then abduct him, take him home, name him Harry, and keep causing various hijinks to occur. It was actually way more of a normal kids movie than we expected! Join the Bad Porridge Club on Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepod Follow the show!

On this episode we're talking about Bend Oregon real estate and I catch up with Realtor® and local resident, Patty Dempsey. She explains that Bend is an artsy resort community in the high Oregon desert just east of the Cascade Range and the Mount Bachelor ski area. Bend has been a draw for its abundant outdoor recreational activities, good dry weather climate and small town atmosphere. Pattys says it's been an attractive retreat for retirees and young people alike with the airport nearby. The inventory is really low right now - 75% less than last year! and other great content from this episode.Connect with Patty Dempsey: 541-480-5432 or DempseyGroupBend.comConnect with Danae Aballi 714-415-2430.BestPlacesToLive.Blog or DanaeAballi.com
What’s the most difficult day hike we’ve ever done? Without question it was climbing to the top of Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument in WA state. Mount St Helens is part of the Cascade Range: 13 volcanoes that lie in an 800-mile chain from British Columbia to northern California. Seven of these thirteen volcanoes have erupted at least once in the past 200 years, one of those being the most catastrophic and deadly volcanic event ever experienced in the United States: the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. In this episode we’ll discuss the details surrounding the eruption, as well as our grueling hike to the rim of the volcano. Some of the topics we discuss in this episode: What happened in the months leading up to the eruption What kind of devastation the blast caused Why so many people died as a result of the eruption Why the area was made a national monument Tips as to how to prepare for your climb to the rim of the volcano What it was like to stand on the edge of the crater Other things to do and see in the park Links to more information: Link to a video of Mount St. Helens’ eruption Where to get a Mount St. Helens climbing permit Where to learn more about our books and travels Join the conversation on Facebook - we want to hear from you!

Frank Escalona is a Chilean-born avid outdoorsman - backpacker, fisherman, hunter, adventurer - whose outdoor life has stretched from Patagonia, to Washington's Cascade Range, and now Virginia's Blue Ridge. The themes of this episode are adventure, mentorship, and facing dangerous megafauna. Pre-interview I read a lesson from a 19th-century mentor to his mentee: a shikari's [an Indian hunter] story about ignoring bad omens that led to a violent run in with a tiger. Our interview begins with Frank's "sumptuous" childhood in Valparaíso [a port city on Chile’s coast] and his emigration to Seattle [at the time a lumber town] where he met a woodsman mentor who took him on his first big game hunt, for black bear, at age 14 in the blueberry fields of the Cascade Range. While discussing human wildness & the motivation for pursuing potentially dangerous animals beyond the inherent value of their meat, Frank recounts a harrowing story about his Patagonian fisherman friends & their conflict with a man-eater. As hunter's mature, they often seek difficulty & depth, and for Frank that means learning the Zen of archery. We hear what he's learned from his recent traditional bow practice. Coming full circle, the episode ends with how working with master craftspeople from tailors to gunmakers adds to the aesthetic ritual of the hunt and connects back to Frank's childhood in the Valparaíso markets.

William Guymer was born at Jamestown, North Dakota, in 1925. After graduating from Jamestown High, Bill entered the US Navy in March of 1943 during World War II. After basic training, Guymer became a Gunnery Mate and was assigned to the USS Mazama. The Mazama was a large Navy ammunition ship that served in the Pacific. Navy ammunition ships were named after volcanoes -- mountains that could explode. Ammunition ships could do the same. The Mazama was named after Mount Mazama, a collapsed volcano in the Cascade Range in Oregon.

Appreciate you guys checking this one out. It's nice that the good part of the smoke is cleared up here in the western part of Oregon. I'm pretty happy about that. I think on the last podcast, and you probably might have heard me talking about the Oregon wildfires. And some of the consequences that have arisen from those starting up over the Labor Day weekend and are really stuck have really taken off over the Labor Day weekend. Really strange to kind of go through it and experience it. You know, I guess there have been other big fires like that in the past. I'm sure there's a lot of stuff in California that is still going on. And I don't think he's had the kind of rain relief that Oregon has been fortunate to get, at least in some northern parts of Oregon. So I think some of that is some good news for the Oregon side. I know that the fires are still going on. I know that they're not really all 100% contained. I think even you know, like the fire that was in Southern Oregon and the talent. The Phoenix area still exists. It's still burning. And it's I think there's another one is shady Cove that's still burning. I think really like there's a significant amount that's still on fire. But I also think it's a little more of a controlled and contained space now. I know that they contain it. And so it's probably good news for the most part. And Wow, did we get some good brainstorms over the last couple of days or so up here in Oregon? It's been pretty significant. I was on the freeway a lot yesterday. And on the way down, I think it rained a little, but it was pretty clear most of the way down like a partly cloudy first day of Fall. What do you know about that? Is Summer over? Yeah, first, but we got a little off, I think, last week to a good thunderstorm too. I don't know if you guys were able to check that one out. I was talking to a friend on the phone who was down in Southern Oregon. And they could see Sunday, or like a year thunder and, I guess, see some lightning bolts striking off in the distance down there in Southern Oregon too. And then I could see it up here in Northern Oregon. So I was kind of surprised. We had a lot of lightning and heard a lot of thunder rolling over the town here. And it was pretty easy. Then again, it was a lot. So I was like, I haven't heard one over town like that. Probably every ten years that I've kind of been in the area, or you know route about here and there. So I thought that was pretty cool. Getting to see some thunder, some cool lighting, and stuff. And it was nice that we were fortunate. I think that it was followed by a good bit of rain. So I'm really hoping that there weren't any new strikes that lit off new fires that ended up being significant. I think it was taken care of pretty well. But man, yeah, really dry still, even in this time of September. So I think we got rain last week during that thunderstorm. And then we got pretty heavy rain. This seems like yesterday, yesterday evening. It seems like it was pretty wet for a good part of the day. A lot of the time, we were driving, driving around on the freeway yesterday. It was like, wow, we are getting slammed with rain. And that kind of that middle section, Oregon there. So hopefully, that that landed up in the Cascades in some spots to put out or help with some of the fires that are coming down. And I know there's also some problems that come about with rain too, you know, a lot of wetness and stuff, some locations where things are just kind of unstable. I think it kind of adds another element of instability. But really, right now it's definitely needed to get something coated on the ground, given how dry it's been for the last couple of months here. So it was really cool that September's come around that there's been a little of rain and that we're kind of moving through the season a little. It's a nice relief to it's, I know the fires are still burning, but it's it really is a significant relief to have a good bit of that wildfire smoke pushed off the west coast here, these West Coast valleys or the west of the Cascades, I was really socked in for a few days as a prize back. So I'm glad to see it kind of cleared up again. It's kind of nice, and I couldn't really take any more smoke. It was so thick, you know, you couldn't see really across the street. I was there's like four days there. I don't think I left the house. I talked about that before. But man, it was just like, oh, man, wait too much. So really glad to have a change in the weather. And I think we're actually supposed to get another heatwave next week. So I hope that kind of goes mellow for us. I know there's they're talking about that as a concern in California where they haven't got the rain that I think we've got the relief that we've got from the rain. So I think that Yeah, they think they're bracing for another wave of heat to come through. I think that's probably going to affect us and our weather here in the Oregon area as well. Sometime in the first part of October. So I'm hopeful that it kind of stays mellow, but yeah, wow. It's going to be kind of nice to still more interesting curves and stuff to come in 2020 Well, you know So I'm hopeful that the fires and stuff in Oregon have kind of tamp down a little that we're not going to see a significant amount of fire damage, or, you know, new fire problems arise. And I think there's still people that are, I'm certain that there's so people in zones that are restricted from returning to their homes, you know, even if they weren't burned, but they were like maybe a burn area or near burn area, I think that they're still in like an area that was evacuated. And if they are, if it's a red zone, or maybe still the yellow zone, I'm not sure. But I think if it's, if it's in an evacuated area, you're now allowed to return to your house yet, so you're still just evacuated somewhere, which would be very strange. It'd be really strange to just be out, you know, somewhere away from your house. I feel awful for all those people and how kind of upside-down that must feel this month. And yeah, I don't I don't recall a time that it's affected somebody, somebody, like smaller communities like that all at one time. I mean, just like up and down the I five corridor, or up and down that, I guess the the western side of the Cascade Range, there was just problems throughout it. So it's wild. I've never heard anything like that before. But I've seen it's the first day of Fall, or it's, it's just been the first day of Fall a couple of days ago. So I think we've just passed our What is it the autumnal equinox, which is pretty cool. Autumnal equinox I think it was the 22nd this year, we had the Yeah, equal day, equal time of day and night, as we kind of move in toward the winter. And as we kind of move in toward the winter solstice, coming up late December, this year, but yeah, move past the equinox here in Fall now, or I guess from summer to fall. So now we're an autumn? And I think but is it like the quarter point, or like the halfway point between now and the solstice is I think, was it like maybe November 10. There's some time around this early November. I think it was also kind of part of why Halloween was placed at the date it was. There's some kind of screwy things that have happened with the calendar. In the past, you won't hear about that. Listen to the night sky podcast. Another one that I've worked on a bunch of the past. Or probably maybe some older episodes of this one's probably this feed to somewhere back there. That there was some changes in the calendar that happened back in the Middle Ages. But prior to that, the reason that Halloween was placed on the 31st or that that All Hallows Eve thing is because it was sort of like a spiritual holiday where it was half a halfway point between the equinox and the winter solstice. There's also, I think, a couple others that are sort of strangely placed in there. Like, I think it's like Groundhog's Day, is one like right around February 1 is a halfway point. I think that Mayday is another one. Maybe it was the llamas' day. I think it's still a holiday in parts of Europe. Or it's Yeah, I don't know, the calendar or something. But I think that's August 1. So I think August 1, October 31, February 2, and may 1, are all part of this. What I don't know, middle holiday section. But you know, for our work there was it was the middle point between the equinox and the solstice has placed between each of the seasons. But yeah, that was kind of interesting. Fascinating. So right now, yeah, we're at the equinox point of it. So it's kind of cool. I hadn't been able to do any astronomical observations or seeing any stars or planets or anything for a few days there. Certainly while the smoke was really heavy. So I mean, I think just a couple days ago is like the first time I've been able to see a star, and it was seemed like two weeks or something, right. So it was able to be was able to spot a couple of things out there, which were pretty cool. I think I talked a bit about Jupiter and Saturn that are out to the south of this night, kind of, I don't know the eight o'clock nine o'clock range, you know, just kind of right in the nighttime there. Well, actually, now that it's getting dark earlier, I think now that we're right after the after the equinox, we should be getting dark around like 715 seven o'clock or so it's kind of getting like pretty damn out there. But by eight o'clock, certainly you're able to see a pretty dark sky. And I think you're able to spot Venus and Jupiter really easily to the to the south while you're here in the north. Well, I guess probably just about everywhere. But yeah, up here in the Northern Hemisphere, you're able to look out to the south and spot the bright spots. I think the brightest spot right is Jupiter. And I think it's still up in what would be Sagittarius and then a bit to the left. Have the brighter Jupiter is Saturn, and that's still visible in that area. But then in the morning sky which is cool I've only really been able to spot it a couple of times is Venus is coming up now it's actually up pretty high in the sky, and it's really quite bright in the in the morning sky, it's its always really stunning in the morning and the evening to when it when it's near bright, or it's near. It's like brightest points like wow, you can really see that planet. Wow. So it's always really fun to see. But I think if you're up at like 3:34am Yeah, it's still dark for a few hours. So yeah, probably like for him. It should be up, and you should be able to see it for a few hours. But yeah, if you're up around, like, like 430 or five, you'll be able to see it kind of high in the sky, but maybe some of like the murkier cloud cover that you would have on the horizon or a smog layer or whatever it is on the horizon line. But yeah, I think it's up a bit higher, I think probably around 5am or so you're able to see a pie in the sky, I was able to see a pretty high couple times, even back in August, like a month ago or so I was able to check it out a bit. So it's been cool. Good to spot a couple of planets out there. I think if you wait, yeah, like, Wait till about midnight or so maybe it's a little earlier, now you're able to spot Mars coming up over the horizon line. So probably about 1am or so you'd be able to get a good view of the planet Mars over on the eastern horizon, as it's kind of rising up there in the east. It's cool. Yeah, it's really, really bright kind of copper, red, red, orange color. It's cool. That's mostly most of the plants that are that are popping up right now are mostly stuff that I've gotten to check out the last couple of days. But I just got up got up early a couple of days ago, it was able to spot Venus at the window and kind of keeping an eye on it as it's been moving around. But it's pretty cool. Yeah, get us down to a couple planets was pretty fun. So magenta, keep up with some astronomy stuff. And sky watching stuff is cool. Been a little less of it this summer, I guess, you know, just with everything else going on different boats and stuff. But I have been studying a lot of argue astronomy stuff, which is pretty cool. I want to try and kind of bring that into maybe a little of this podcast as a promo, but, but also kind of bring it into some other project stuff that I'm trying to do. So I'll try and get into that. At some point. I think I put up a podcast a little while ago about to Like comment neowise and some of the observations that I was doing around it. So yeah, so sort of more more talk like that over on the night sky podcast when I was talking about earlier. And a lot of kind of weird esoteric, talk about changes to the calendar and changes to astronomical observations or, you know, mythologies and stuff that we have about space and stars. So I was like, that sounds kind of fun. And you can get kind of, kind of deep with it. At least like the research side of it's really cool to, to kind of look at what different people are thinking, you know, because it's like 1000s of years of, you know, like Baileys people putting out their, their feelings about what they thought about these different things at different times. So it's kind of cool to get to see some of that. So, let's talk about something even more exciting. SEO. About that's a pretty exciting topic. If you're still listening to this. Thank you appreciate it. Who listens on pocket casts? Seems like one person listens on pocket cast. I give you stats, you know, and I'm able to see some stuff. There's a lot of players and stuff I can't see. So I'm not sure like, I can see like Spotify stats and stuff. But like this one on player FM, the downloads that every once in a while. You think like Oh, is that like a bot or something that just like checks the feed? Why is player FM even noticing that podcast, you know, but at least it shows up somewhere? Thanks a lot, tipping my hat to you for checking out the podcast on whatever you find it on. But yeah, speaking of how you find things on the internet, what's more exciting than talking about SEO I've been working on keep it short. I've been working on SEO on my website and trying to figure it out a little. But really like kind of once you figure out or at least the basic process what you're supposed to do like I'm trying to go through and fill in a bunch of the details that I had left kind of blank in the past sort of in a rush to populate content on the website. So for a long time, if you notice them, I'm sure all of you are frequent visitors to the great website. Billy Newman photo calm but a lot of it for a long time wasn't really maintained well and so a lot of the posts had been made through some cross-posting mechanism that I had created with if an is this, then that command that said if a new Facebook photo post is made, take that photo and send it out to Twitter and flicker and a Tumblr page and a 500 pX Photo page and your website and your WordPress page, right. So that's how a lot of the photos ended up showing up on the website was through this command that would grab the photo, and then sort of automatically, in an automated way populate a post a photo post with, you know, just whatever the text of the tweeter, the Facebook post was, and then make a blog post with that what was not included in that post was anything that would be search engine optimization information. So there's no alt tag, there's no title to the photo, or it was an automated title that was like a weird hash of numbers and tax and stuff that would have come from Facebook, I suppose. And you know, so it was just kind of like weird changes, that would have happened. And they were kind of stripped-down. So yeah, the alt tags weren't there, there was no description, there were no links in the post, or, or body text of the blog posts. So there's really nothing like for anything to index or populate. So what I've been trying to do is go back through all this post is probably around 1500 posts or so I think what it says on my site is that there's something like 1600 posts or something on it. So I've done about 800 of them. So far, it's really pretty rudimentary stuff that I've been changing, it's probably there's, there's, I'm sure there's, there's grades of it that you could do, and I could probably do a better job of filling out the information to be more accurate or more bespoke, or to fit into a certain SEO topic a little better. But as it goes through the most part, I've just been kind of trying to take the different pieces and then fill them out a little more. So that at least in some way, they are populated with something that's that's kind of cogent, and, and cohesive, you know, like that makes some sort of sense that I put together. So trying to do that, do some search engine optimization. So I've been adding a bunch of alt tags to buy photographs that are old blog posts and blocks of like links and different paragraph texts that are supposed to kind of explain some different things about it. A lot of that is sort of that sort of fuzzy stuff for all these old posts, I'm trying to go through and just add like some kind of kind of basic sort of standard attacks to pieces of like, you know, there's this about me, there's this about my gear, there's this about stuff that you can find out about different places or something. So I kind of like I just kind of put together there's like notes list. And then I've been going through and then try to run a couple little, little commands, or you know, have this little like process, do these three steps. And then you kind of like, make these couple changes to each post, and then you move on to the next one you get you check your SEO score. And then you kind of bump to the next one. So what I'm trying to do is fill out the the meta tags, the alt tags, the descriptions and titles with better SEO quality, I guess titles and descriptions, so that they're able to be populated into Google or other search engines more effectively. Like that's a terrible thing. Like when I like I search for my name, or I search for different maybe photos that I have. It's really kind of sparse that as the links from my website are the ones that are populating that, that list there. There's a few others that are that are probably not even really super high quality links that are in there. Like I think there's like just, I think, character that was that a different name, you're in the mind. That one seems to show up. There's a couple from another photographer named Billy Newman, there's another one from a jazz guitar player who has an album on Spotify, who's named Billy Newman. And so there's a couple of couple funny ones that seemed about there's a guy who was on the grassy knoll, that guy was in billing, he was weird things when you find it, you know, Google your name, or you look at the Google image search of your name or your business or something you're like, who's that? What do they do? Weird? So I've been doing that a little and trying to kind of back search and figure out like, what links populate? You know, what's weird, too, as I look at it, you know, I've like put links everywhere, right? I was saying, I've been kind of working on this website thing for a long time. You know, to some degree, like I was saying, I didn't really fill out the information properly. So I'm sure Google never probably even really indexed it at all. But when I look around, and I look at the photos that are listed in the first couple pages of the search result for either My name or, or something kind of related to me, the things that come up are like it's a photo from Twitter, or it's like my Facebook profile picture that has like my name in it or something. And that's like the highest quality as like the highest quality Billy Newman picture that exists out there something or like you're even if I find like a photograph of mine that I put up somewhere, it'll say, it's from my Tumblr page. I think, what I never even I don't think I've been to my Tumblr page, like I was saying before, like, you know, I just set up a thing, and then it's going to automatically post to this blog role. And no one goes to that Tumblr page. Like it's always been spam. I don't think I've ever got like a real person comment or like, you know, I don't think I've ever got any interaction there? So, but it's really about what you get when you do like a search or something like out with Tumblr, or how this Flickr page is where this is from our Twitter, like, yeah, there's a few of them that, you know, just pop out from somewhere weird. Well, where's this from? Or like my ancient WordPress site? That one shows up sometimes before my new site, right? Like when I was in college, and I had like a free wordpress.com site. Billy Newman.wordpress.com is still out there. And yeah, you can pull it up. But I think it was just like the same as thinking about I was like, man, wow, hey, still on the internet, that's cool. I was thinking about kind of making a couple of those other are a few more like wordpress.com sites are kind of useful for some things. And given the you don't have to really work on maintaining them, it's kind of a nice way to have just some kind of easy, static thing. And if you need to you can you can set up a referral link or what not a referral link, a redirect some kind of like redirect from a URL that you have to make it a little cleaner or something if you're working on a project or something. Yeah, yeah, we're going through search engine stuff, trying to find your name trying to find your pictures. And it is working that like as a noticing, like, as I filled out some more tag information, the title information in the right way. And I kind of try and include, like some sort of mention of my name in there in the description or something or like, you know, photograph by, so that, I know, that's kind of a trick that I've heard from some photographers in the past that were working on some images and publishing them as one of the things that they said is like one of the most important things you can do to be found, or at least to be followed up with, if a photograph of yours is found is to include some kind of like, like authorship information in the description, or metadata of the photograph that you render out. And I think that there's a way that you can do that automatically, by applying the EXIF data, or like, you know, some metadata in your library module in Lightroom. I think there's, there's other tools you can use to edit your metadata, as well, I think you look at it stuff like the the title or the tags that the photo has. And then in that, also, I think that you can, you can like put your copyright information in your name. And I have seen photographs like that before, where Yeah, like, you download like a wallpaper image or something. But then if you check out the EXIF data on the side, it's really quite populated with a lot of information, a lot of different pieces, including their name and different tags about what the photo is about. So when it is put together in a better way, I guess, you know, it makes it easier, or just much simpler to find out like oh, well, like I like this photograph, who's this photograph by, and then it says right there within it, you don't really have to go search anywhere else, or at least you're, you're immediately kind of in contact with the contact with the information for that for that person. So that is cool and can be a good thing. And I hadn't really done it before. So I'm trying to go through and do that with all these past photographs to figure those out. And then, at the same time, I'm trying to do a bunch of edits, on a bunch of photographs that I have really put, I don't really put up a bunch of new stuff in the last couple of years. Um, so I'm trying to go through a bunch of that stuff. And some older stuff, too. That's kind of cool. And I'm trying to kind of tune it up a bit in the editing and get the kind of print-ready is sort of infinity for some stuff. But also, some of it's just fine, I'm trying to populate and edit up some old, old photographs, or I'm trying to kind of get into some black and white stuff a bit more too, which is cool. But go through some of these images and trying to prep up a bunch of them. I'm also trying to write out sort of a format for setting up these, you know, like I'm saying like, some more information about whatever I'm trying to write about in a post that sort of associated with these photographs that I'm editing. So I've been trying to set that up so that I can schedule them and have the kind of ready to do on the website. Which is super exciting. I mean, I was just like, well, I got to write, I got like sit here and like write out the answers to like these, like sets of questions that are kind of like made for myself that like kind of put together like okay, well I'm going to train this photo, like, Where was it taken? You know, what was it doing? What was it about was the experience like, what kind of gear to the user, you know what kind of whatever kind of little questions you'd have about like, what, what happened to make this photo or something? Yeah, I'm kind of trying to figure that out. Look at which are these interesting? And then how do I go through and like, answer that question and then make that into like, the paragraphs that make up the post about this photograph, it kind of gets tiring sometimes because you sort of seem like you're repeating especially you have to do it in bulk. But just to like, write about your description of a photo and the source. Or at least for myself, like I kind of feel like I get lost a bit in trying to better describe what was happening. You know, like, what, what, what I need to say, I mean, I said like, I know I use a camera, I held it up I took a picture. It looked good when I looked at it, and I edited it a little. There's a lot more to it than that. But man, you can really seem sanctimonious when you start writing paragraphs about the you know, like just whatever mystery you think it is to I've taken a picture that looked okay. So I kind of want to avoid, avoid some of that if I can, and I like so Some of the creative writing that I see, but sometimes I see photographers, and their writing is difficult. So I think I've even added to the pool of that problem in the past, but even still download my e-book working with them. That's good stuff. So yeah, what I'm noticing is that sometimes photographers are cool to read. But sometimes they're not as cool to read. Because it just seems like what we got, like, we know you took the picture, like, like, next page, okay, and like, Oh, yeah, he took the picture. Okay, right. Next page. What did you write about that? So, it seems like that a little with, with some, some photo books that I've seen in the past or some photo blogs that I've seen, which is probably what I'm going to continue to do. I will share in the tradition. I made a link tree page. Have you seen this before? I think I've seen some YouTubers have it. So I'm hoping it means it's hip. But I think there's a link tree website, I think it's, I think like Instagrammers or something, would you use it too, I think it was something that became popular. So you could put it as your one bio link in your Instagram profile. And what it was, was a click, or a quick link out to just a super simple sort of landing page that had like a stack of like links, it was just like, you know, just a page. Why am I over explained is it was it was a stack of links, and a website called link tree, and you'd have a profile there. And you'd make this your bio link and Instagram. And then when you click that link, you would get a stack of, say, a dozen other links to all your other places that you'd want people to go. So you get two expansion, just that one link too many links, I think was sort of the need it was designed to help out with, but it is kind of useful, maybe I don't know, we'll see if like, I don't have any traffic going through those places to probably really use that in any way other than just direct through a link. But the link tree services are kind of cool, I'm going through and trying to put that in some spots, so that you can click there and then go to different links. So you can like kind of like direct link over to an Ebook page if you want to check that out. And then the next one down could be your Instagram page, or your Facebook page or your website or your blog and website for your about page, or your new project that you're trying to list or whatever it is. I was going to see it in. Yeah, and some more more managed accounts were managed social media accounts and stuff. So I thought I'd try it out. And at least in the simple way, kind of set up a super easy profile, and then just stack up a few of the links that I have. So I think it's a link tree. Slash Billy Newman probably was it's kind of a weird, the weird like URL. It's like, I don't know, like the die. It's like link, link t. r e or something like that, you know, it's kind of like, what's going on? I probably got that wrong. But it's like, it's kind of a tricky URL, but I'm sure if you Google it or something, but link tree slash Billy Newman, I think she'd pull my stuff up. It was whatever, I don't know. Probably find it on my website, too. It's really like what my website is, is just like a stack of links that go out to the other, the other services and stuff that I'm proud to populate. And kind of fun. But yeah, this week has been a lot of computer work, a lot of writing stuff, a lot of cutting pears and apples up, kind of harvest season two, like I was saying hates the Fall. So when we're before like we process most of the apples that have come down in the summer, and then now there's a pears that we got a hold of, and so we're trying to go through those and process them up and then freeze them for the winter. Good times. So it's pretty fun skaffa I'm having a good time. putting it together. Make some pies and chips this winter and Fall. You good time. But thanks a lot for listening to this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast is kind of an easy one today, right? Talking about SEO talking about smoke that used to be here.

It sounds like a fantasy: join forces with a good friend to build a sweet little cabin in the woods. And for Bryan Schatz and Patrick Hutchison, that’s exactly how it felt. They took time away from promising careers to pursue a dream of crafting a base camp for adventures in an idyllic spot in Washington’s Cascade Range. There was just one problem: they had no idea what they were doing. Their planned summer project turned into a yearlong saga that drained their bank accounts and stressed their relationships with family, friends, and each other. But they stuck it out and ended up not only with a gorgeous cabin but a new perspective on what matters most in life.

A young woman who recently started working for Maggie is found lying unconscious in a field after Maggie overhears a heated argument between the woman and her fiancée. Maggie informs the local sheriff, and the suspect declares his innocence before eluding the authorities..." "... There’s more trouble with an unreliable farm hand who doesn’t like taking orders from a woman, and why are FBI agents showing up at the front door to inquire about a 40 year-old cold case? What does D. B. Cooper and his famous “drop zone” have to do with Maggie? And why does Maggie have difficulty in locating Mark-Mario when his new restaurant is less than ten minutes from home? Friends and family aren’t who Maggie thought they were, and among the secrets are hidden rooms, a vast communication system, and a fugitive from justice waiting in the shadows. Clues pile up and the past is revealed."
This episode was recorded on a spring morning close to the busy birdfeeders in the backyard of a house in the small town of McCloud in Siskiyou County, California. The town sits at the forested foot of Mount Shasta, a large stratovolcano near the southern end of the Cascade Range. The morning chorus is in full swing as birds come and go from the feeders while Stellar and Scrub Jays call loudly, roosters crow and hens cluck busily, neighborhood dogs bark lonesomely, a wind chime plays softly, and cars occasionally pass on the highway. I recorded this episode on Easter morning in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. I hope wherever you are that you're doing okay, and I hope this podcast can provide you with a bit of peace during this ongoing crisis. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/soundbynature/support
Bend is a picturesque former lumber town at the foot of the Cascade Range in Oregon. Over the years, the population of Bend has risen exponentially. People are drawn to the area by its warm climate, its hiking, skiing, fishing, and cycling opportunities as well as its breweries. But in summer of 2016, a string of crimes sent shock waves throughout the town. Even more shocking was that when the perpetrator was arrested, it was revealed that he was involved in the disappearance of a young woman.

Theodore Robert Bundy (born Theodore Robert Cowell; November 24, 1946 – January 24, 1989) was an American serial killer and necrophile who kidnapped, raped, and murdered numerous young women and girls during the 1970s and possibly earlier. After more than a decade of denials, before his execution in 1989 he confessed to 30 homicides that he committed in seven states between 1974 and 1978. The true number of victims is unknown and possibly higher.Ted BundyA monochrome photograph of a expressionless man with piercing eyesBundy after his 1979 convictions in the Chi Omega trialBornTheodore Robert CowellNovember 24, 1946Burlington, Vermont, U.S.DiedJanuary 24, 1989 (aged 42)Florida State Prison, Bradford County, Florida, U.S.Cause of deathExecution by electrocutionResting placeBody cremated in Gainesville, Florida; ashes scattered at an undisclosed location at Cascade Range, Washington.NationalityAmericanOther namesChris HagenKenneth MisnerOfficer RoselandRichard BurtonRolf MillerAlma materUniversity of Puget SoundUniversity of WashingtonTemple UniversityUniversity of UtahPolitical partyRepublicanSpouse(s)Carole Ann Boone (m. 1979–1986)Children1Parent(s)Unknown (father)Eleanor Louise Cowell (mother)Conviction(s)Aggravated kidnappingAttempted murderBurglaryMurderRapeCriminal penaltyDeath by electrocutionEscapedJune 7, 1977 – June 13, 1977December 30, 1977 – February 15, 1978DetailsVictims30 confessed; total unconfirmedSpan of crimesFebruary 1, 1974 – February 9, 1978CountryUnited StatesState(s)CaliforniaColoradoFloridaIdahoOregonUtahWashingtonDate apprehendedAugust 16, 1975Many of Bundy's young female victims regarded him as handsome and charismatic, traits that he exploited to win their trust. He would typically approach them in public places, feigning injury or disability, or impersonating an authority figure, before overpowering and assaulting them in secluded locations. He sometimes revisited his secondary crime scenes, grooming and performing sexual acts with the decomposing corpses until putrefaction and destruction by wild animals made any further interactions impossible. He decapitated at least 12 victims and kept some of the severed heads as mementos in his apartment. On a few occasions, he broke into dwellings at night and bludgeoned his victims as they slept.In 1975, Bundy was jailed for the first time when he was incarcerated in Utah for aggravated kidnapping and attempted criminal assault. He then became a suspect in a progressively longer list of unsolved homicides in several states. Facing murder charges in Colorado, he engineered two dramatic escapes and committed further assaults, including three murders, before his ultimate recapture in Florida in 1978. For the Florida homicides, he received three death sentences in two separate trials.Bundy was executed in the electric chair at Florida State Prison on January 24, 1989. Biographer Ann Rule described Bundy as "a sadistic sociopath who took pleasure from another human's pain and the control he had over his victims, to the point of death, and even after." He once called himself "the most cold-hearted son of a bitch you'll ever meet." Attorney Polly Nelson, a member of his last defense team, wrote he was "the very definition of heartless evil

This was recorded on a clear summer night while paddling a canoe on Medicine Lake in Modoc National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. Medicine Lake lies in the caldera of the Medicine Lake Volcano, a shield volcano in the southern end of the Cascade Range. Remotely located, there is little or no light pollution to obscure the night sky, and as such the stars shone brightly on this moonless night. The air was still and the glassy surface of the lake perfectly reflected the stars above, which elicited the surreal sensation of paddling through the heavens. A Great Horned Owl called from the forest near the lakeshore. I have Facebook page for the podcast, search Sound By Nature to find it and see pictures from some of the areas I've recorded.

From a high-octane skiing accident in Canada to breaking into the track at a maximum-security all-girl’s school, Mike’s penchant for the unconventional and utterly ridiculous makes for a gripping story.It’s not all jokes, though. Throughout the episode, Mike also shares his experience with a new coach, reworking his racing mentality, and a raw, honest look at the ultrarunning experience.Episode NotesMike Welden. Laurel. 2017.

Dan Hollifield was born in November of 1957 at almost the same moment that Sputnik II was launched. However, the two events are not, in fact, related. His father was a machinist, graduating from the General Motors Institute in the mid 1950s. After fleeing the harsh Michigan winters for a return to the families ancestral home, Dan's father began working in Oak Ridge, TN making toys for the physicists to play with. Dan's mother is an artist specializing in oils, china painting, glass painting, and multimedia home-crafts. Few can claim the varied background of Stephanie Osborn, the Interstellar Woman of Mystery.

Mount Baker is a beast of a mountain. It’s one of the chain of volcanoes in the Cascade Volcanic Arc that runs north-south through Washington State in the gorgeous american pacific northwest. Its situated near the border between Washington State and Canada and is prominent on the Vancouver skyline. It stands at 10,780 feet, almost 3,300 metres, and is the third highest mountain in Washington State. After Mt Rainier, it is the most heavily glaciated of the Cascade Range volcanoes. It is often climbed and skiied, but usually in a couple of days. Most teams climb to the foot of the glacier, establish a base camp and set off early in the morning for the summit. Some of the mountain’s tougher customers do it differently, though. Today we’re chatting to Kellie. She’s an aerospace engineer based in Melbourne and recently spent two years living and working in Seattle. During that time she got into mountain climbing in a big way. One of her most significant and memorable mountaineering experiences was climbing Baker in a day.
