017p5047 Mount Olympus April 23, 1934. Hoh River Today Mr. O.J. Marie & I drove from Forks to the CCC camp which is about 10 miles up the Hoh River. From there, we hiked up to South Fork of Hoh and several miles up the south fork. We were perhaps within 5 miles of west side of Mt. Olympus Nat'l Monument. He talked with a Mrs. Richmond who has lived all her life on the Hoh. Her points were fairly expressive of local sentiment: 1. The monument should be kept small enough that roads would be unnecessary and it could be hiked across. 2. Predators should be exterminated. 3. Elk & deer should be hunted in order to keep the range from being over-grazed. 4. Big concessionaires should forever be kept out. Let the locals take care of public. 5. Let the peninsula remain a frontier as it is so that these people will in no way have to modify the way they have lived for 40 years. 6. Any animal which is not seen, such as fur bearers or predators, should be trapped & killed inside or outside of the monument. 7. Bears are predacious & should be killed.
