"Whitefish isn't a cold place"? I beg to differ! The coldest winter I EVER experienced in my life was there back in 2003; it hit -40 degrees. More snowfall than many of the other places I have seen.
@glowingfishКүн бұрын
Weird, I don't know what I was saying there. I think I might have actually said "Whitefish is in a cold place" because I immediately say that it isn't always blue skies and golden sunshine afterwards. Or maybe I was just tripping over my tongue?
@glowingfishКүн бұрын
Oh yeah listened again pretty sure it is "Whitefish is in a cold place", which is kind of a strange thing to say. "Whitefish is a cold place" makes a lot more sense.

Howdy Mathew. Bit of history of Kiger Island. I lived very near there as a kid 1980 to 1984. I fished that bridge, under the bridge, swam there and had several friends that lived on the island. Your opening, that housing development - that used to be huge fields they grew straw and hay. Every few years they burned the fields. Looking toward the bridge at the beginning. The hose next to the bridge in the right was a dairy, I was friends with the two boys that live there and that field was covered in dairy cattle. Kiger island bridge in the early 80s - as you went down the the water. There’s a rock island there - in my time is was barren of trees and just a few bushes with tree starts growing. I caught my first salmon where you were standing just off to the right. Across the water under the bridge was the end of the rock spit, good fishing back in my day and swimming!!! As you went down the island I saw 2 friends houses (we rode the bus to kiger before they let me off). I rode down that gravel road on my bike 5000 times I bet. Back then they grew strawberries and corn, every spring they sprayed chicken manure (it was awful) really neat area. When I was a kid there was still remains the the bases to the old covered bridge (it went across the left side of the bridge as you look at it in your opening) Back then all those houses weren’t there, in fact (Charlotte st off of river drive) we’re just starting to build houses. We walked to Lincoln school and the 7-11 just up the way from Lincoln school was the hang out. You mention the smell and to this day the smell of that river, kiger island still remind me of home! Thank you for that video! This fall I’m gonna build a diorama for my n scale train set of that bridge as it was in 1980 to 1984.

Thank you very much for watching and commenting! One reason I do so many videos like this, is that even though it might seem like a lot of detail for the general viewer, sometimes I get to capture something that was very important to someone, or also something that is historically/environmentally important. Also, if you like trains, I have many train videos---not model, but trains I've ridden, in the United States and Costa Rica. I also have a lot of videos in and around Corvallis. As you have probably seen---in fact, I saw a comment that you made about the Adair Village video, but now I can't find it?

@@glowingfish yup I did, Adair village has a ton of memories for me as well. I’ll be subscribing for sure! I watched your Avery park video, that train!!! So cool. I’m old enough to remember (I was very very young) real hippies playing frisbee in those open areas of Avery park. In the 70s my mom was part of the rose garden ladies and those trees were tiny back then lol. Avery used to be a huge hub for OSU and for parents / kids, in the early 80s that started changing from its glory days. The whale bones (you didn’t show them) was where we kids learned to climb AND hit the ground hard. Those industrial buildings weren’t there, it was all field and you could see 99 from Avery on the 99w side of the park. Anyways, a ton of memories from there, it’s neat to see it. Last time I was there was in 17 for the eclipse. We moved from Corvallis in summer 84. I went to college in Springfield after I returned from the navy and lived in Springfield and Eugene for a few years before moving away from Oregon. I have strong roots in oregon and Washington.. oh.. btw.. it’s not THE puget sound… just “puget sound” lol :) Want a fun video trip? Eastern oregon - skeleton cave… my father and I in 1977 went to the back of that cave, and in a whim my father figured there was an exit.. we made the exit to skeleton cave. But, he covered it back up… I’ve heard someone dug it back out. In those days the cave entrance (all of them) were just holes in the ground, no hand rails etc. Also, under kiger island bridge where you went down the steep path. Just under the bridge next to the step path written on one of those beams is “platinum puma” (long story) but I scratched that into the bridge support in 1983. It’s a reference to ad and d. Kiger island didn’t have stores etc on it when I was a kid, it’s always been farmland. In fact, other then the trees groaning taller, it looks the same. Just, always been that way :) it’s a special place and A LOT of history follows kiger island.
