Why is every forest now called a “Rain Forest”? ... isn’t the definition of a rain forest one where the humidity is so high that it actually rains moisture? The Amazon has a true rain forest .... our back woods here in Washington do not ... but the Hoe Forest is designated a “Rain Forest” ..... in this light there are no more plain forests but all are rain forests ..... PC gone amok yet again ....

Why? Simple we know it aggravates you, we had a meeting awhile ago and decided to do this. Everyone is in on it..friends..family...everyone, that is except John McCain but he’s just being a maverick.
For what it’s worth it was Jacques Chirac’s idea. So you can blame him...not that he cares.

There is some amazing stuff there that is nothing like other Northwest forests. (Pretty long drive out there though. :)

The definition of temperate rain forest is based on the amount of precipitation and the average temperature. The Hoh Rain Forest easily qualifies with about 3 times the minimum requirement of precipitation.
