McKenzie Memories films, April 5th at Cosmic

McKenzie Memories. What was life like along the majestic McKenzie River in the early 1900s? The McKenzie River Trust is inviting people to McKenzie Memories: an evening of storytelling, music, and rare historic short films and photographs. See footage of early settlers and old-time logging, including dramatic river log drives down the McKenzie, and hear special guest speakers share stories of the Whitewater Boat Parade, the history of the iconic McKenzie Drift Boat, and more.

A tree is blocking the McKenzie River 1/2 mile below Taylor Landing

The McKenzie river is completely blocked by two trees that fell last night 1/2 mile below Taylor landing. The Marine Sheriff has been notified and is posting signs at Taylor and Deerhorn. A trapper working that stretch has cut a small opening on river left. We will try to get up there as soon as possible to open a larger channel. Hopefully the next storm will bring the river up and move the trees out of the channel.

Thanks, Doug
