    House approves Wild Sky wilderness

    A new wilderness area has been approved at the House level. The new region is called Wild Sky and it encompasses 167 square miles out by Sultan. Yeehaw!

    Quoted: The bill, introduced by Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash., would designate 167 square miles in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest north of Sultan, Wash., as wilderness, the government's highest level of protection.

    Quoted: "Wild Sky will protect more low-elevation acres than any other wilderness area in the state, bringing wilderness closer to our communities and benefiting Washington families and businesses for generations to come," Larsen said.

    Wife clubs mountain lion attacking man - U.S. Life - MSNBC.com

    Boy, her husband actually looks fairly sizeable. It is pretty rare that a mountain lion will attack a full grown male. Usually, you here about them jumping on children or surprising female joggers in the hills. What a brave lady!
