Rare Rocky Mountain goat sighting on Mount Hood
A pair of hikers say they happened upon a rare Rocky Mountain goat sighting on Mount Hood on July 27. Oregon resident Jackson Smith told KOIN 6 News that he was backpacking with a friend on Yocum Ridge Trail at approximately 5 p.m. when they spotted the goat descending the cliffside. “I heard some rock fall along the ridge to our north and looked up to see this Rocky Mountain Goat about 30 to 50 yards away from us,” Smith said. “We were both completely shocked, but stayed still and silent as the goat began its descent down the ridge towards the Sandy River below.” KOIN 6 News is a news partner of the Portland Tribune.

In Oregon, several tribal bids for urban casinos threatens a gambling “arms race.”
The two Oregon tribes hoping to open the urban casinos — one in Salem, the capital, and the other in Medford, 30 miles north of the California border — say the projects should be viewed as opportunities, hard-earned and long overdue, to finance initiatives to house and heal their members, particularly their elders, while creating jobs for all local residents.

Hot Dogs, Buddha Bowls and Cocktails, Oh My
The most refreshing thing about WildWood, the new taproom, food cart, cocktail lounge combination located in the spot formerly held by The Brown Owl, is that it's one of the first new places to open in Bend in a long time that doesn't feel prohibitive to the pocketbook.

Oh, and the food is super tasty across the board!
