Al didn't post to his blog on any kind of regular basis, but after the better part of a month and no replies to my or other peoples' inquiries, i filed a missing persons report with the Sheriff in Crescent City, California and with the State Highway Patrol. He turned up (dead) in Arcata, California where he'd gone to get checked for a uti. Somehow, probably due to some minor surgery, sepsis got loose, and it was soon over.

i found my comment w the coordinates to the turnoff to the Elwha River area. Pursuing it further led to this Youtube video
about the dams being taken out after the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe's lobbying culminated in the Elwha River Ecosystem and Fisheries Restoration Act of 1992.
Signed by President George H.W. Bush (41st prez from '89 to '93, a.k.a. Bush the Elder, of all people!!), this federal law authorized the government to buy out the dams and dismantle them specifically to restore the native ecosystem and protect tribal treaty rights.
Al's last post on July 23rd, 2025, conveyed hos laid-back style & showed him chillin' somewhere among the big trees.
