Longbob, I've just visited a few times. The lots on the sloughs are just small building lots but the island is mostly still small acreages. How far from a boat launch can you be on a little island? I think one of the realtors in Cathlamet has a webiste to check prices. Last time I looked, the prices didn't reflect Portland or Seattle price levels at all. The only downside is that there's not a lot of hunting nearby except ducks, deer on timber co. lands and some bear. Ward
