"May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds." - Edward Abbey

Response from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board

On February 5, Jay and Stacy submitted a letter to the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB), informing them about the flooding, the destruction of their driveway, and Stacy's health.

On February 10th, the Executive Director responded, making these points:

  • Currently the Younger Bridge project is prioritized as 11th out of 18 grant applications.
  • The state is "facing economic uncertainty" and the board will be forced to make tough decisions.
  • OWEB meets March 18-19th when they will make a final decision about the grant.
OWEB has been flooded with calls and emails on the Younger's behalf. Please refrain from contacting them.
