Two people were rescued by fellow steelhead fishermen Sunday after their aluminum drift boat overturned on the upper Sol Duc River around noon. The man and woman were brought wet and cold to the Maxfield boat ramp, where medics were waiting to assist. Law enforcement, fire crews, medics, and a swiftwater rescue team all responded to the scene. As of Sunday afternoon, the couple’s dog was still missing. Clallam County Fire District #1 officials said their swiftwater team searched the shoreline but could not locate the dog, and a Forest Service drone was also deployed without success. By Sunday evening, the boat remained in the river, and the dog had not yet been found. Photo CCFD#1

Submitted photo Just in time for Valentine’s Day, last week, Bill and Susan Brager discovered why Ruby Beach truly lives up to its name. The sand glows with streaks of ruby-red, pink, and maroon, created by tiny garnet crystals washed down from the Olympic Mountains by rivers. The color appears in patches, most vivid when the sand is wet or the light hits just right, mixing fine red garnet minerals with gray sand and smooth stones, like nature’s own Valentine scattered along the shore.
