Imagine you live in Oregon. You have a stream running
through your property, ah a nice stream, a small stream, perhaps, it dries up
in the summer. No matter, if that stream was navigable in 1859 you do not own
that stream, no dredging, building ponds, or altering in any way.
Hold on, I have reason for telling you this.
Navigable means by whatever mode of transportation they used
in 1859, floating logs downstream—a common practice then, a canoe? It’s navigable.
Perhaps it was used only seasonally. No matter. Perhaps now it is now a mud flat.
No matter. You own only up to the high-water-mark.
I wonder if this was ever navigable.
In Oregon navigable water is owned and controlled by the state—same as
it was for the original 13 states.
I learned this fascinating fact on my first day toward
becoming a Real Estate Agent.
Yes, that’s the next order of things. Both daughter and I
decided to go into this business together. Now whoever hires us will get two agents for the price of one. And we will work our butts off.
Well, I have 150 hours of study ahead minus 39 minutes, 23
seconds, guess I better study.
I have to mention this, on my blog, The 90 day millionaire challenge, May 10, 2014, I suggested we follow Daughter Dear’s
suggestion and write down one business plan a day for 30 days.
Here is what we both agreed upon—become a Real Estate Agent.
We have signed-up, committed ourselves. Now I need to jam all that terminology into my head, and, then—horrors —a final exam.

Definitely a navigable river. A sight I often saw as a child growing up alongside the Columbia River in Oregon
