This is an incredible story. I highly recommend you watch the accompanying short documentary by @jessiesears.bsky.social. It's so well done.
This summer, young Indigenous kayakers made history on the first source-to-sea descent of the Klamath River since the removal of four dams. But this isn’t just a kayak adventure story.
‘The Evergreen’: Indigenous youth make history on a changed Klamath River
This week, we hear how the removal of four dams has changed the Klamath River, and what the journey meant to the Indigenous youth carrying on their ancestors’ work.

Brian is starting in on book design. This process is teaching us so much. We think you're gonna love it.
Working full-time and writing a book is a juggle, but we really want to put it out in 2026, which is is 10 years since we closed, if you can believe it.
Stay tuned!

I was at a hospital yesterday wearing my Big-Ass Sandwiches hoodie. One of the nurses said his friend got one of the last sandos we served before closing, and that he got this tattoo for his birthday. Portland can be such a small town sometimes. It warms my heart that we made something people loved.
