SKIING WITHIN 100 MILES OF HOME,
by Larry Turner
People who can walk out their door and access a ski lift, or even drive a few blocks or miles for that privilege are those among us who are extremely fortunate. In my neck of the woods (Malin, OR, on the California border), that drive is 100 miles. |

by Steve Giordano
Heard any good Sasquatch stories lately? Do you wonder
where they are when you're hiking in the woods? Do you keep
a camera handy just in case? |

EAT STREET IN RICHMOND, BC
by Yvette Cardozo
It's called, simply, "Eat Street." That, at least, is how locals refer to the stretch in Richmond, BC, along Alexandra Road that is end-to-end mouthwatering authentic Asian food. |

IN SEARCH OF ORCAS; Kayaking in the San Juan Islands,
by Lee Juillerat
Years ago, while traveling on a ferry in the San Juan Islands, I heard the captain make an announcement that a pod of orcas, better known as killer whales, were alongside the ferry. My family and I scurried to watch. Fascinating. I promised then and there that I'd return another time for a longer look.

MT. HOOD
by Vicki Hoefling Andersen
A short-lived dream to access Timberline came in the form of the Skiway, America's second aerial tram. Based on the sky-hook system used by loggers to move huge timber, it utilized city buses on a cable supported by a three-mile swath of towers from lower Government Camp to Timberline. Operating from 1951-53, it proved slow, unprofitable and unpopular.

High on Adventure's adventure poet
Pray, Montana
Fight river rage, ancient flow away
from geysers, bison, grizzlies, the whole park.
I'm
trying to heal a life, the bit
that's left... |

HALLOWEEN AGAIN
Off-piste humor by Noma d'Plume
Due to my fall fetish, our Halloween decor remains on display for
days after the last trick-or-treater has vacated our porch. We tend to go all out, partly because our direct neighbors are all Halloween no-
shows. |

STOCKHOLM, A CAPITAL CITY ON THE WATER
by Brad Hathaway
While an hour cruise to the east onto Lake Maleran was fun, a longer voyage to the west was a thrill. Stockholm is located at the most protected spot of an archipelago of more than 24,000 islands scattered over the 50 miles between Stockholm and the Baltic Seas. |
