Only One Metolius - Dan and Linda Odum, San Carlos, California

Dear Senator Westlund,

I am a California resident who, with my children and grandchildren have been visiting dear friends in the Camp Sherman area of the Metolius Basin every summer for nearly 20 years.....and every visit provides rejuvenation and regeneration for all of us through the pristine beauty, amazing natural ambience and wonderful people with whom we've associated there. We appreciate California's great natural beauty, but we haven't found any other location that can compare to The Metolius Basin in Oregon for getting close to nature at the most basic level. We would urge you to use all of your official political power to maintain that very special ambience and prevent the permitting of construction of any type of destination resorts in or within a 3 mile radius of the Metolius river Basin.

Thank you for your most diligent attention to this serious matter.

Sincerely,

Dan and Linda Odum
