Daniel J. Satiacum

Some of my favorite mountain pictures. I love the mountain fresh air and the exercise I get hiking to the ridges to enjoy a good view. I don't hunt the animals anymore because I like to watch them and learn from them. When watching them, I will spook the animals if I see some poachers coming.

This picture was taken in Gifford Pinchot National Forest on the Cispus River, notice I have my brother Ty's tipi setup. This picture was taken before I captured a 1976 Dodge Establishment, "my covered wagon". That covered wagon was torched by some angry person. You have to read that story that will be posted in the "New" Chapter.

Looking Northwesterly towards Mount Rainier from the top of Chinook Pass. State Hiway 410 runs from Puyallup to Yakima and there are a lot of nice creeks to fish in, lakes to swim in and healthy animals to scare you in the night.

Looking North from the "Natchez Trail" that runs from Canada to Mexico. This picture was taken about five miles north of Hiway 410. I was following a big Bull Elk looking for the rest of his ladies.

This picture was taken at Snoqualmie Pass when I was trying to learn how to ski. I fell down more times on one trip down the hill than I did going up the hill to ski down. I still got up laughing each time I fell and tried to make it a little bit farther before falling down again.

Looking Southeasterly from a ridge between Elbe and Morton, Washington, looking towards Mount Adams. There were a lot of deer and elk in this area and I camped in my motorhome near this area for days to watch them play. The deer would come down the mountain along the clear-cut where I took this picture. I was camping about a mile north of this spot along a creek.

I took this picture looking at Mount Saint Helens from a ridge north of the mountain. You can barely see the crater left by the volcano blast. From this ridge, I could watch several different logging roads and animal trails for any type of movement.

This picture was taken by my step-mom at the tribal cemetary office. Suzy wanted to know why I had a rifle in the car, so I explained that one of my duties as a volunteer Wildlife Commissioner was to catch the poachers of wild animals. I took a lot of pictures of the poachers "hunting out of season" and passed them on to the State wildlife agents. This car was all over the mountains. I Chained all four-tires in the winter months and added additional weight.
