Oso Mudslide

In memory of the Oso Mudslide Victims - May you Rest In Peace.

The Mudslide near Oso Washington State is near my home (within 20 miles), I have spent many hours travelling the roads around Oso. I do not know any of the victims, but they are part of our Pacific Northwest Family.

There is no better place on a Hot Summer Day than in the local Mountains around Oso, running QRP, or down-on the river fishing and playing ball with Tess (my dog).

The mudslide came from a hill; across the River, across the Rail-Road Tracks, blocking the major local highway on the near side, and destroyed lives and homes along its path.
